Pointless Poem: If I Fell in a Forest Would Anybody Hear?

Mar 152010

Sometimes I wonder what the world would be like

If I wasn’t here to wonder about it

It would probably be the same

Although my part in things would be somewhat diminished

Not like I have a big say or anything as it stands now

Really, I’m not the Messiah

Or a captain of industry

Or even a crossing guard

But these words would not have been written

And that’s something

Right?

Hello?

COULD YOU PLEASE GET OFF THE COUCH?

I need a big idea One to fill a thousand pages An epic in scope A dream on earth Oprah will sit me on her couch And tell me how it has changed her And I will thank her And she will thank me And she will ask me where I got that big idea And I will swipe at her And bare my teeth She cannot have it! It is mine! Hasn’t she got enough? And then they will take me away And not air my segment And I will be all alone with my big idea And ten thousand books in my basement
