Mysteries of Existence

Jandek


I could reconcile my habits with you 
You accepted all that I was 
I can do all the things super-logical 
I focus my thoughts like a laser beam 
But what is the objective 
If I'm just defending myself 
I have to be a human dynamo 
And weave a spell on myself 
With your reconciliation I don't need a defense 
I can join the circles and triangles 
I can be with crystal rainbows 
Dancing the cross waltz 
I'm happy with the blues and reds 
The furniture and your clothes 
A glint of sun and the dark of the night 
As I turn to the left and turn to the right 
I don't need a special challenge 
The elemental things are just fine 
And I'm going to the south and east 
Or maybe up the northwest way 
Surround my peripheries 
With some different kind of menagerie 
There's no sense bumping at the wooden door 
Drink well, iron gates, river, grassy fields 
Walking to and fro 
Being here and there 
Unfolding the mystery of existence
