Upside Poem by Barry Van Allen

It's all about the upside,
although the downside lasts for days,
It's all about the upside,
and what gets in the way.

It's all about what should have been,
and what happened through the haze,
It's all about results today,
and what does not fade away.

It's all about the upside,
and not about the past,
the sight unseen can't be believed,
and probably won't last.

It's all about the future,
and what tomorrow will bring,
It's all about what songs are not,
and who's under someone's wing.

It's all about that upside,
that everyone persues,
about bad things that were never kosher,
...and vaguely subtle blues.

It's not about bad things we've done,
but what we do do better,
... it is about the bet that I won,
... that I could use 2 'do's,
and do it twice,
and somehow make them better.

The upside is that ignorance,
is the marketing ideal,
and anyone in marketing just shows
stupidity is real.
