Funny, Ain’t It?
By David Avila

words are funny
like silly and sunny
and rainy and grainy and sand

projecting what's nothing
or something that's cunning
or not it's just something that's bland

sensationalize dumbing
society crumbling
pretending that I understand

just to feel stunning
like I'm in or I'm money
the truth is you don't or you can't

in circles they're running
chasing tails and bunnies
in ways leading to no real plan

let them I say grumbling
not much if not humbling
frankly my dear I don't give a damn

though still words are funny
like silly and sunny
and rainy and grainy and sand

regardless

perhaps you'll get lucky
and find you some honey
or some gold in the wind or a dance
