the other night
i got up for a piss
something got me thinking
about what i'd ask for
if i was granted a wish
not two or three
just one
what would i wish for?
Bukowski did his best thinking
when he was snapping one out
not being fecally minded
the universe stepped in
and i was given another route
i'm a rainy day parade kinda guy
some shit just won't fly
and no matter how you try
here's me just getting by
just being casual
just being loose
so
i thought long
and
i thought hard
about
what i was thinking
about
in my mind the turmoil began
wayward wind driven thoughts
just all up and blew away
i sat there mouth all slack
eyes glazed with a bubble of dip shit spit
slowly slipping from the corner of my mouth
but here’s the thing
the ring a ding ding
the very bedrock
to which i cling
this A game
i'm expected to bring
it don't mean jack
it don't mean a thing
i was in a doozy
i was in a pickle
a pebble i had thrown into a pond
showed me a truth inside a ripple
i couldn't remember how to wish
let alone what to wish for
or what i should
even if i could
i'd wish i would

A System That Isn’t Working Challenge Winners
Systems promise order. They organize behavior, distribute opportunity, and suggest that if everyone follows the rules, things will work. The entries in A System That Isn’t Working look closely at what happens when that promise begins to slip.
