pen and posture
Pen with sliced nib says much more
discovered in the thins and thicks
that pale line from a sixties magazine
slipped a mickey into my rhetoric.
Step on a stone this one a daughter
jump to another this one a son
the rocks across are getting bigger
where did all the water go?
Woke up warm everyone else up
scorching to middling so as to storm
but it won't it's a familiar trick
played on the blind by the dumb.
Posture for fools who can't leap from
the rules to getting the most of both sides
stand up for those who stand up
even after they lose verticality.
No freedom like severance severed
the answer between the flight and fledgling
condemns to practicality the free fall
nothing to touch but air molecules.
