PUMPKIN
A pumpkin spoke to me last night
He said "man get up"
"There's work to do, and a world to fill
with the fruit of your deeds."
I was scared you know, paralyzed
Just looking around with my eyes
Waiting for something to materialize
and chop off my head
I could sense the other entities
Crawling thru my crop with ease
I've long thought there's life beyond
What we can see
But I never, ever, thought
They would turn out to be like these
Pumpkin said "Hey, look around, nothing starts in the middle!"
"Everything must begin and then find an end."
"You better get up, you better get with it.
The only thing that matters is you!"
"But perhaps my dear confused man
you subscribe to that peculiar view
that there is something out there
which was never new."
Pumpkin he begin to smile
and his shell broke
It was dark and it got darker when Pumpkin spoke
"Use your head man child and try to think about this,
If there is just one thing
with no beginning and no end
then simple quantum mechanics
Should explain to you
that everyone and everything
is just like this."
Oh I was shaking as Pumpkin danced round and round
His cackling laughter made a hideous sound as he began to chant
"You better get up, you better get with it.
The only thing that matters is you!"
well I finally gathered up myself
My knees, they got steady
I said "You know I have a limited knowledge of what can be true.
But one thing I know for sure it's not you!"
As Pumpkin spun off into the night
I heard tendrils of twisted muttering
thru the star light
"You better get up, You better get with it.
The only thing that matters is you!"
