Every So Often

Every so often life is cryptic,

every so often it’s a code.

Every so often it’s worth breaking

out of the same vanilla mold.

But mostly it’s breathin’ till one day you’re leavin’

Every so often I am told.

Every so often life’s a jingle,

every so often it’s a jang.

Every so often life’s a comer,

every so often it done came.

But mostly it’s lapses between the synapses

every so often in your brain.

Every so often life’s a lemon,

sometimes it’s garnished with a lime.

Every so often I get hemmed in,

once in a while I cross the line.

But mostly it’s mundane, no sugar or champagne

every so often or I find.

Every so often life gets creepy,

every so often or I find.

Every so often I get sleepy,

every so often I can rhyme.

But mostly I’m busy, so much that I’m dizzy

every so often I’ll confide.
