Lackadaisical


lackadaisical
like-a-daisy-all my life
appears to be a dream

lackadaisical?
like-a-daisy-all is not
as simple as it seems

like-a-daisy-all my life is crazy
and I often cower in the grass

but from-a-daisy-eye life keeps rolling by
so I root until these feelings pass

like-a-daisy skies at times are hazy
don't know what is truth from what's unreal

but I-am-not-at-all as this name you call
and it contradicts the hope I feel

so lackadaisical is not the word at all
call me that but you don't really know

unlike-a-daisy-ary I am quite contrary
to your ceaseless will for me to grow.

(approx. 1980-81)
