Time is at a speedy halt
But my mind is still running the race tomorrow
Jumping under multi-colored questions
Finding answers as quickly as time is yellow

Excuse me, what's going on here?

What is wrong with me?
Why isn't time moving along?
Why am I seeing such strange things?
To confuse me even more?

Excuse me, what's going on here?!

Where are the furry, hopping rabbits?
And the slimy, leaping frogs?
When will each question be one color?
How can I calm my racing mind?

Excuse me, what's going on here?!

Maybe I'll stop and let time catch up
I'm too anxious to stroll at its slow pace
It seems to be coming slower than snails tied down
I want to know what tomorrow will bring in a year

Excuse me, what's going on here?

Or maybe I need more time
To truly figure out everything's nothing
To fix or redo things that already are
Or stop thinking altogether, what happens, happens

Excuse me, what's going on here?

I guess I'll be patient
I'll watch the green clouds rain purple trees
And the blue spotted dogs sing sleeping babies awake
And hear the end of this poem as I begin reading again

Excuse me, what's going on here?
