"It's about words, and words are all I have…"

ASK ANYTHING

ASK  ANYTHING     OF  ME            EXCEPT

If you are searching for meaning   turn back

Your mind will rail against this poem   There is

a  biological imperative to  know   the difference

between a jaguar   and the wind moving through

the bush  beside you   Why not take a wild & carnal

pleasure in the taste of these words ?  And if they

are tasteless   spit them out    immediately

I DO

I  DO  AND      I  DON’T

Do you think happiness is easy ?

Is there any such thing as a          happymarriage ?

Isn’t life itself like that new pair

of shoes   one faded right from

the start   the other  slowly

catching up  and  now   faded too ?

 

Do we really need more night   more      shadow

or is it  silence  and more rain ?   I can

tell you that the passage of 9 yrs.  feels

like 3   The abyss eats time  and no matter

how sweet  (sweet)  Jane was  she just turned      45

I ask you   what did Lou mean when he said:        life is just to die
