(Bone) Marrow, naivety, lucidity, and pith,
These are words that have been on my mind.
Do writers write to expel and express,
or do they write to be cleansed in hot water?
A word is quoted at twenty cents. Can several syllables
touch a face value?
Deliberate,
when decided,
Tell me: who says
And then
who feels it's so
Not our writer, surely, through maybe though
some satisfaction of stringing a sentence
up high,
a point appointed and sidled
furtive along long margins.
The reader, maybe, if they can
If a disregard is regarded regarding: the dog yelp,
the wine spill the beans over the comforter
the chimes chime the metal cling!
the brooms brush over the carpet
all Time falls into a char pit.
A perplex I give to you and back you hand me a
Slightly simple stare
Your eyes are flushed,
stop the faucet
I’ll take my twenty cents.
