with a changed view it's a window or a wall a door or a floor a ceiling or a revealing entry an exit or a next fit for the way home the road away the place to stay the wonder where the how to compare the when with the why the reasons and the try the fit and the fall the catch and the ball the release and the feast the famine and the pearl the duke and the earl balance so simple the iron and the wrinkle flattened like a steak brick like an oven eggs like a dozen monkeys like bananas fruits like flies babies like cries even as the daylight dies the moon comes up and the night wins out doubt has none space has plenty sky goes on songs sing sung high hangings hung ranking rings rung out to dry trout like streams of water the sons and daughters of matching families the catching remedies unavailable at grocery stores the tours of duty like moody blues and unrecorded grooves wild-eyed wonders and high-hat horses picked out of rings like masters unenforced there are miles and the mild taco sauces can't be broken there are bosses but the wild chocolate tosses have misspoken for the swings can go too high and the dreams will be forgiven but the monkeys still get barred and the slides must still go down let us make our angled plans while asparagus is cooking for the pot is much too pretty for the dinner guests to see and the bonsai tree is planted where the gardener won't notice so the chef will have to take care in between our rounds of tea
