and now back to the pen

i threw my hat against the wall
it was another burst
you all know mine so well
many smile and accept
others warn and correct
some even suggest

i am not sure you are there
or if i am here

oh, the subtleties of perfection
your smooth curves
taunting
i could taste you

i am not on the edge of a building
life is a swing
give it a good kick.
the more you kick, the further you fly

this is the difference when i connect
using time and space
i can breathe through these lines

swing too hard and you fly off,
sometimes landing,
sometimes falling,
sometimes sprawling
and realizing that a good load of grass in your mouth is
the right medicine.

but sometimes you live to sprawl,
in which case you may learn everything
or nothing at all.
