Notes About The Poem

Key to the Highway

("Cheek to Cheek", 2024, original encaustic)

Key to the Highway

Everybody knows
Deep down in their bones
That what you see 
Is what you get

The mind being a
Conditional thing
Adopts, adapts, 
reflects, refracts

Whatever it is
We focus upon
Be it heaven 
Or be it hell

So remember this
As you make your way
That what you see 
Is what you get

But what you look for
Now there
Is the key
