"Alternative to Boredom"

Bored of life; no just remember
What was it in that instant
                                        which
made it all worthwhile


Now									smile
And let the good vibes bathe you
The boredom's gone


Tired; no just remember
One thin slice of memory
Which made me swoon
A magenta morning
    An azure evening
          A psychedelic noonday


I've never forgotten the beauty
in an instant
And it's kept me here waiting
through 40 years and an eternity
Browse through boredom


And escape in memory of excitement
Something makes it all worthwhile
After all
