let’s do a survey and wonder where the worries go how do you show your garden a good time how does your Tupperware know you care when and all the hows and the whos are coming to dinner and they all want to leave thinner than they came but at the same time to eat a lot and have gotten their fill there is a man in a blue house and a woman in a red dress neither of them are acquainted with the boy in the green pants but can they dance without anyone stepping on each others’ toes and especially those of the butcher who lives two houses down from the baker neither one of whom is a woman or who has an orange hat we have scattered enough clues for you to use to seek the truth but you might wonder what blunders will lead you to any sort of success what will be next on the list and how many x’s can you fit in those boxes talking into circles the logical twirls of intellect collecting in pools under the table those fabled memories those star-crossed miseries and her name was and his name wasn’t but all the same they found each other and there are plenty more of the same the also the other the discoveries we and our voices cannot be stopped though the corn can’t be popped in this heat this indiscreet dalliance given the chance of a workless morning of a snowy dawning cold with the awnings long-gone and replaced by awe and yawning also some sort of yearning churning up the letters into piles a mile a minute and each with you in it as ideas fly by and the same is true while you project and protect and kindle kindness
