If You Say It In Such a Way

... they might believe you. Colored beads on a necklace; if we change the order of the beads the necklace might look like a snake or a skein of yarn maybe a bell pull, we might see the bell swinging, hear the slow donging of its hollow heart, or we might just move on tossing the beads at a rock watch the beads break apart forming their own random images. Now you can say it in another way, the arrangements are endless, but the beads are just beads the poem is what you say it is.
