plain and simple

It's plain and simple
Now and later
Licorice flavah'
To sweeten up the tears
An aftertaste of beer
With jelly beans
And sour dreams
A bitter in the mouth

It seems I have the power
To treat incessant fever
With cleavers
Build you up and
Break you down and
Pick some up for later

A cruel punishment of fate
Or a tableful of dinner
(Just don't forget the honey, please)

I pray to God
He'll bless my sneeze, and it'll
Be all over

But I've got to savor,
I've got a favor to savor
And to watch life go down and up
Time go right and left
Ceilings close in and skies burst out
My mind wise up each day
A check list to check the day away
And smile all while
Tooth and liver decay

You can't see
Beauty without
Seeing something
You don't want to.
It's plain and simple
Really--it's
You.
