just to get up to go to find out where you'd land.
Chances for riches are scattered and few.

no time to do
all the things that you want?
Live the life that you've dreamed?
What's a mere buck when your
own mouth ain't screamed?
So, soon when your head says
your mind's gonna slip, tell the people who care
that you're taking a trip.
You gotta give in, and you just gotta say
that you gotta go dream,
be it just for a day.
I absolutely LOVE BFDelany's poetry! I never heard this one before. Oh it sounds like something she'd write in 1973 when we still had a twinkle in our eyes and hope in our hearts. Yeah that's good. Love the photo too. Hey, let's get up and go and find out where we land!
