On the Verge of a Life-Long Conversation
A storm, a mind
brought to snow globe capacity with dust to shake
glittering, glittering 'till it falls
and settles too gently
Never satisfied with objects which let you look
but not touch their innards
I always sought to pry such things open
Now, your mind, this twirl of blown explosion
to be shaken to still
elates me to action
A loose tooth for a tongue
A candle flame to dried wax
That one repeating song that stays with you all day
A watermelon after the crack in half
pink juice and pearly black seeds the reward
or a teasing snow globe to uncork with the edge of a finger nail
Perhaps I should have gone into psychology
with this never ending urge to pick and pry
wonder, wonder, wonder why
and be satisfied quite never
What ever the background, the reasons, the motivation
I ask you:
Do you have the rest of your life
to expound with me in conversation?
