Bob Dylan Cadence


I wanna pay my dues
I wanna pick and choose
The battles that I win and loose
I wanna get in the mood
With a little food for the soul
Salivate while I rotate around the globe
But wait!
Have not fear
The end is always nearer then you think
Blink, and it might just sneak up on you
Creep up on you
Pass you by
Peak into the past
Fast
Future tense
Don’t be dense, it’s just a fence
Stop sittin’ on it and get with the program
Like a diagram,
Diaphragm
BREATHE
We can only plan so far
Are you a human being?
In this body of love
Loveliness
De-stress
Confess what it is that you most desire
For I’ll hire the angels in heaven to do your bidding
Just kidding, I’m only human
But don’t retire the idea of poetess
And caress the inner edges of your heart
With the fingers of that part of you
That knows your own greatness
So the test
Let’s undress
And in our nakedness
We’ll dance
In a trance
With our pants tied around our heads
Like turbans from exotic lands
Raise your hands and solute the
Coming of Aquarius 
Show me your true nature
Because it’s your essence that I want to see
BE part of THAT world
Like a word that makes a sentence, makes a phrase, makes a paragraph, makes a book
Take a look–
What’s gonna change your life?
Like a knife
Use it, this tool, for getting rid of excess
Making smaller the bulk
And becoming more refined
Like an elephant on a dime
We remind ourselves to smile and laugh every once in a while
