Shock Without Awe

Things do not change; we change. - Thoreau

how can i write what's never been read

say what's never been said

give life to words that feel as though they're dead

put thoughts in your spinning, empty head

unravel you by pulling a single thread

get a rise from your unleavened bread

perhaps i should just come over

and knock some sense into your thick head

help you change your old, worn bedspread

make you run faster by getting out the lead

then you'll be able to pull your own sled

i could tell you that someone took your amazon package and fill you with dread

or then again, i could just do nothing instead

"Nay, be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you, opening new channels, not of trade, but of thought." -Thoreau
