Assortments

As when liquid metal thuds
on granite or marble. A bump and
a smokey simmer, a wet hot drop.

Or when sunlight finds a crack
in the glass, and shimmers a
bit brighter than in the past.

When tired grasps clump
heavy glass onto bedside
tables: surrender's sleep alas.

For every child's cracked smile,
bloodied wrist and knee
crying Dad! for a while.

For coffee and flowers,
high speed rainbow chases,
Jupiter and Jazz.

For the bright partition of clouds and
jungle air dark blue by the shade
of a billion canopies.

Or of kissers' first kiss
and first kisser's
first,

Better still, lips plumped
puckered and pursed-
a perfect thirst to quench.

Of old leather, tough and
scarred. Scary barns
at night on farms

For these reasons and more,
including all at once
or either or.

There it is.

The reason to write it down.

Waver or

Don't waver.

Whatever.

If nothing else be clear.

open.

honest.

clean.

Heaven forbid you're

pegged a liar.

I heard you say once

that you didn't like

such and

such. It made you feel

bleh or something.

And now you like such and

such, let's call it baby koalas. 

So what.

The point is you can't take away the past.

You know that.

You already knew that.

Just say what you say and

mean it.

Even if it's something

sideways, like,

"Fetch a mush bag of lemons.

Gather it hither, I have a

special place for it.

The leaf pile! Put the mush bag

next to the leaf pile. That's

where it belongs. Yes,

the leaf pile next to the mush bag."

You lost me at mush bag.

I don't know what that is.

But I guess you were honest.

You were definitely open.

It was a pretty clean thing to say;

it might have had some inunderstandably

complex inference. Maybe.

It is clear in its delivery. Whoever

wants the mush bag is being

precise and direct with his or her words.

But the words in general,

and mush bags in specific?

Chaos.

Chaotic nonsense.

Junk poetry.

Junkyard absurdity.

Inanity.

Now go into the world.

Clone it. Destruct it. Fit

in and out.

I intended to get something 

across to you with this.

When you need help,

read this again in a darker room with a sharp knife in your hand.
