no fuss


by wiggly jones, "the little hippie boy"



i was walking down the road
i had no purpose and no code
everything i knew i had forgot
and nobody cared what i thought

the sky was blank, the earth was flat
i saw no human, dog, or cat
i saw no car, no truck, no bus
i had no cause to make a fuss

my brain flew back to former life
when all i knew was toil and strife
those are old-fashioned words, no doubt
but well describe what i was about

i remember highways grim
houses bleak, and schoolrooms dim
gloomy forests running from dogs
policemen looming through the fog

always running from the man
running with no goal or plan
maybe it was not a dream
and things are really what they seem

i have no cause to weep or moan
i have my trusty cell phone
with pictures, messages, and games
losing it would be a shame

everything is now connected
all the dead are resurrected
i keep walking down the road
with no purpose and no code

walk


by wiggly jones, "the little hippie boy"



i walk down the street
and i see people just like me
but i don’t talk to them
and they don’t talk to me

why is that, i wonder
is it just their way?
or is it because
they have nothing to say?

i have a lot of things
i would like to ask about
i would be polite and courteous
and not wave my arms and shout

but i know
way down deep
if i tried to talk to strangers
they would think i was a creep

am i just a creep?
who is to say?
when the sun goes down it’s night
and when it comes back up its day
