spelunking

I slide into myself
like a hungry worm
trying to bore through
granite reality
with the skills of a greenhorn
on a scorched-earth cattle drive
I'd buy the cliffs notes
if I could find them in the bargain bin
'cause this fucking King James version
is making me work like a dirty dawg,
a hapless miner for personal truth
knowing full well the only score is likely fool's gold
yet still I dig and record
the length and breadth of meditations
for my own amusement
though I have no compunction
to deter the course...
I'm a self anointed spelunker
a restless forty-niner
holes in my head match the ones
in my leather soul and wool socks
worn out from too much trucking
So sorry my friends.... I just can't believe
there is nothing left to see
like a hungry worm
trying to bore through
granite reality
with the skills of a greenhorn
on a scorched-earth cattle drive
I'd buy the cliffs notes
if I could find them in the bargain bin
'cause this fucking King James version
is making me work like a dirty dawg,
a hapless miner for personal truth
knowing full well the only score is likely fool's gold
yet still I dig and record
the length and breadth of meditations
for my own amusement
though I have no compunction
to deter the course...
I'm a self anointed spelunker
a restless forty-niner
holes in my head match the ones
in my leather soul and wool socks
worn out from too much trucking
So sorry my friends.... I just can't believe
