john was just a guy
and he lived in just a town
on just a planet
that was neither up nor down
john liked jelly doughnuts
and caressed them with his touch
and he also liked cheeseburgers
but not nearly as much
john watched television
all day and all night
his favorite shows were perry mason
and the price is right
his mom lived in the basement
and his dad lived in the attic
they argued about religion
but all john heard was static
his brothers all liked batman
but john liked superman
his favorite singer was dolly parton
he was her most committed fan
you may ask what was john’s purpose
and what was his life’s task
and those are good questions
but who are we to ask?
