11.16.14 I Mean, Where The Hell Were We?

I have laid it down
and laid it down again
Irreverent ,anti-climatic- Geez , it tempts
rhetoric and sarcasm the way a 

warm lover tempts caress

And yet, tell me how we
ever came upon
the root of all things;
the essential within

 the commonplace ? I ask you

I mean, where the hell were we
when they handed out the operating
instructions
