qualifying the vast unknown
Posted: March 11th, 2005, 12:13 am
you could go to school and hate your class,
the professor could turn out to be an ass,
you could run to the girl you've always dreamed of,
find out she's got a vast vacant space between her ears,
has no class and spits in her beer
and love could disappear right out the door.
but what are you going to do? be afraid
of every step you never made? what for?
nobody goes anywhere standing still.
should you follow your heart? or follow your will?
what if it turns out the girl is a doll
and you're her prince charming after all?
what if the courses in creative writing
better your talents and make you more
exciting and charming? whatever's
in store is always alarming.
unless, of course, you don't do a thing.
then, nothing will be happening
if you try to qualify the vast unknown,
you might as well stay home.
