ENLIGHTENMENT

Don't let yourself into my flat anymore
And don't expect that I shall feed your cat anymore
Gone are the scintillating chats I adore
All you ever do is drone away

Spare me your dilemma - It's giving me a tremor
Registering a 10 on my inflictor scale
Your story, snory, endless inventory
Your daddy never listened and your mom made you her
surrogate

Ask your higher power to pay me by the hour
When your inner child is sobbing near my plate
Get a pacifier - that kid has raised my ire
She's not that teeny anymore and you're too late

You're digging, and mining, one day-at-a-timing
Yoga, bioenergetics, paganism, mirth
Lord, Goddess, Buddha, Jesus,
Neptune, Greenspan, Dionysus
Save me from your introspecting
Look at me - I'm genuflecting

Stay the self absorbed route - I will pull my hair out
     could use an incarnational break
     Your relentless incantations, mantras, revelations
     Om mane padme - ho hum - ramma lamma ding dong
     What is this compunction - to dwell on your dysfunction?
     Your walls are lined with self help books
     But you ain't got no self
     Oh spare me your enlightenment and on your way out...
     ...throw me a beer.
