Analysis of where it is



where it is spoke
itself into
existence
many followed
i knew it was
lying cause i
know where where
it is is and this
ain't it

but where it is
lit eyes ablaze &
how could they
resist the
temptation of a
youth that is
where it is &
always must be
should i tell
them & face the
abuse or must they
find now for
themselves now is
temporal until it is
not that
now is forever
changing till it is
forever never
temporal

forever is not a
long time it
is a mere
moment that never
ends

this is where it
is is where it
is until where it
is shows up

static forevers
decay all the
time
timelessness
creates forever ever
changing

this is never where
it is but for a
solitary second

where it ain't ain't
where it is

get off the
corner yer blockin
traffic
