Mercury Retrograde


riding on the highway
minding my own business
on a peaceful sunny day
when I bore witness
a solitary dark cloud
burst like an aging star
rain came pouring down
on only my car
I often wonder
if what happens to me
is attributed to solo thunder
an under cover code, in foremost secrecy
blame it on mercury retrograde, my ticket prepaid, blame it mercury retrograde
the driver in the parallel
rolled down his window
amazed he began to yell
unbelievable, what a show
hey Mr. this is crazy
tell me are you cursed
sorry there is no maybe
60mph and around curves
I often wonder
if what happens to me
is attributed to solo thunder
an under cover code, in foremost secrecy
blame it on mercury retrograde, my ticket prepaid, blame it mercury retrograde
BREAK
And as I flew on past I yelled out loud
Hey man go find your own cloud

Sometimes when I take my inventory
It helps if the story makes sense
It’s so hard to defend against
The relentlessness of mercury retrograde
