turning it over

Post by saw » November 20th, 2013, 10:31 am

words and ideas
can be dangerous as they stand
even worse when others interpret

but all the poet can do is share
part of himself without malice
without nefarious manipulation

so i don't take my words lightly
but even so, once they are laid out
in the market like oranges and apples

they are objects to be handled
toys to be played with, balls
to be kicked down the field

eminent domain
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

nice-
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---
