Want to be what I want to be
but day revealed me to me
the way we are now for this moment
nothing was missed
tomorrow is marching in
without fanfare
without notice
Waikiki isn't there yet
It's not even a past dream
just a mirage before creation.
Sidewalks lead to roads
and they go to doors
that are filled with everyone going out
Downtown stores and windows
weren't made for christmas
did baby Jesus have a big belly
a white beard and go ho ho ho
Could these bells and sleighs be for something else
for celebration of the first winter in New York copyright Terrell Neuage City for a white person?
But this day brought no snow
just rain for palm trees to grow
and a sleigh being led by fiber-stuffed reindeer to go rusty in
Knowing Waikiki is dressed to dance
I throw out a laugh to the next man I see
with a white beard big belly ho ho ho
and he seeing my ho ho ho is phonier than his
screams over the ringing of the bell
'I never knew you wanted to be serious
always thought haoles dug this sort of joke'
So going back to the playland in the attic of Sears and Robuck
I build a fort out a thouSA copyright Terrell Neuagend little blocks
each with a letter on its side
to stop the ho ho hos
from stomping on my day
Then taking out my 'T'was the night before Christmas colouring book"
I begin colouring out my programme
to become what I want to become.

ICE AGES FLICK ON AND OFF
LIKE TELEVISION SOAP OPERAS
TO THE DISTANT SOUNDS
OF EXPLODING AEONS
WE ARE PART OF CONDENSED TIME
BLACK HOLES OF EXPERIENCES
IN ACCELERATED EVOLUTION
WE ARE MUTATIONS OF CREATION
CHROMOSOME EXPERIMENTS
TRYING TO EXPLAIN WHERE WE WERE
AN HOUR BEFORE THE BIG BANG
AND HOW WE WILL PAY THE ELECTRICITY BILL
NEXT WEEK
SOME BILLION YEARS AFTER
SPACE WAS FILLED WITH ENERGY
AND WE WERE GIVEN
PHILOSOPHICAL PRECEPTS
TO EXPLAIN WHY WE
ARE HERE
AN HOUR AFTER
THE HOUR BEFORE
THE BIG BANG.

EACH DAY BRINGS YOU LIKE A SHADOW
DANCING IN THE EARLY MORNING FOG
BUT THE SUN RISES FOG FLEES TO THE SEAS
SHADOWS WANDER OFF
WHILE I CARESS THAT WHICH ISN'T THERE
STORMS THESE DAYS
IN THEIR RAPID SUCCESSIONS MEAN LITTLE
FOR I REALIZE THAT THERE IS MUCH TO DO
TO PREPARE CASTLED FREEDOMS
FOR YOU TO BE WITH MI IN
BUT YOU ARE NO WHERE TO BE FOUND
LOVE IN GERMANY SORROW IN BOSTON
LAUGHTER FLIES YOUR SOUL
I LONG TO TOUCH TO PUSH YOU INTO A SNOW BANK OF CHANGE
AND TO WATCH THE WARMTH OF ME IN YOUR LOVE
MELT EACH PATTERNED FLAKE
LIKE YOU MELTED MY BEING
IN THE MIDST OF YOU
WHEN YOU TIPTOED
THROUGH A MOMENT
SMILING ON ME.
