mindful that the
clock is ticking,
do it while your
life’s still kicking,
rock n’ roll with rattlesnakes
that dance with ships in rainbow lakes,
where skinny dipping petals sail
upon the backs of humpback whales,
go scream a jet of string quartets
and sip from orange-sweet sunsets,
where planted angels beastly bloom
their finger herds that clutch the moon,
to feast in sugar mountain rage
and rocket-spew a gold rampage,
go leap from bottled pink champagne –
ignite the stars with trumpet flame,
go smoke the clouds in forest swing
and party where the snowdrops sing
with butterflies in desert dunes –
strike lightning while the thunder booms –
Now!.
