CRUMBLES

OK.
I got it.
I’m a smart cookie
I’m with ya.
There’s just one thing I don’t understand:
If… Scratch that.
Rewind.
There’s a dozen things I don’t understand
like physics.
Or the process of silk-screening
– or even the definition of silk-screening.

Did I say there’s A dozen things that I don’t get?
I meant dozens.
Hundreds.
Well, I’m not sure if I’ve counted this far
– ever –
but I’ll bet I could find three thousand items
that are beyond my comprehension.

I never really had faith in the shape of the earth
or why we mock those ignorant old world folks who didn’t know better that our planet was round
when no one could ever actually SEE
it for themselves
until space travel
and the last time I was that high
it was on Vicodin
you know what I’m saying?

I mean, have YOU ever proven
that Earth was an orb?
There’s so much to question out there
so much that we take on faith.
How does a green piece of paper equal one hundred small copper coins?

Sorry?
What was I getting at?
Damned if I can remember.
I just don’t know.
