slapdash

I always fancied that I knew what to do
or I'd just know where to go

a vague projection of me there
queen of the castle in the air

but avoiding the doctrinaire
I never once looked at a map

my slapdash system cacophony
inertia interspersed with industry

spontaneity's ecstasy and injury
for the whims of others or my whimsy

draws me where it will
for good or ill

sure spirit's inner compass
would guide me here to there

but a dream is not a plan
and so I never land

quite where I thought I would
for ill or good
