There are more nos than yeses
when my wife goes to Talbots to try on new dresses.
Each dress has to fit her just so
that only her best features show.
And the rest she leaves up to wild-ass guesses.

continuous figures
align in lines
along pathways and conduits
through time and space
I ask my questions in ones and zeroes
I tell my answers in yeses or noes
I know all
yet learn nothing
yours science alludes me
your puzzles complex me
this engine cannot compute
your differences

You cannot take the country out of a corn-fed Iowa girl
You cannot pull the straw out of her teeth
You cannot take the “yahs” and replace them with “yeses”.
You can try to pull her off the tractor, but she will not come easy.
You can try to get her to stop eating fresh sweet corn
But I would not give you a nickel for your life afterwards.

In this world,
we are all artisans...
We mend with hands
the yeses and the noes,
highlights and shadows,
joys and sorrows...
With these nobles
material, we sew
the clothes we wear
in life... !
