What Flies - Jayro Dyer

[Larry Robinson]

What Flies

Time flies when we’re having fun
and when we’re not it crawls.

Flies – get stuck in the honey
and honey distracts 
just about everyone
but my honey 
distracts me the most
hm, hm, hmm, the delight
of that sweetness
and the explosion in my brain.

Later I’ll deal with the pain
but while time ticks 
I get so involved in my addictions
there are no predictions 
of when I’ll stop
or when I’ll succumb
to the realities that I
have broken the rules 
and Now it’s time for the dues.

So I must pay while the days
tick away – and sunsets come
and moonlights smile
watching us revel in this life 
we want to keep forever
but forever is always here 
for there is no tomorrow
remember? All we have is Now.

Boy does Now fly – and how
when waves form
and cats meow
and lions roar
and the streams gurgle
and humans cry and pray
and laugh and wonder what’s next.

And the only thing that’s next
is Now – flying in our face.
