If
No word works
Any word will do..
Well..no
A story is told best
With better words..
Seems we have
Two stories here
Which are not two...
TRUMP SMIRKS CARNEY WORKS
CARNEY WILL NOT DEAL WITH JERKS
AND TRUMP IT DOES IRKS
The stones on the patio are weathered
and ground, and the door that creeks
welcomes. The ceiling was measured
for other times, other heights,
and the floor is used to heedful steps.
Old tables and chairs disarm fashion,
have a style of their own:
haute couture of past culture,
their vogue is vintage.
I can live with the broken vase
which was worth repairing.
It knows the meaning of longevity
and in it the cut chrysanthemum
refuses to fade.
Those pans were new once,
they knew once the taste of mint,
but since have aged and mellowed.
Noblest of all are those objects in wood
whose handles have felt
the favour of oft-use.
Their polish reflects the palm.
I favour the works of the past,
the time-worn customs and lore of folk
whose venerable hearts
know the meaning of bosom.
I am a collector of dents in copper,
of meaningful scratches in tin;
grooves, furrows and notches
that count the years;
and faint wounds
that objects keep hidden within.
“Everything just works out for me”
You persistently espouse
With eyes shut to generosity
Lit hands open for douse
You persistently espouse
A path paved by grand design
Lit hands open for douse
Your saviors are hardly divine
A path paved by grand design
Your derelict steps assume
Your saviors are hardly divine
Their efforts blindly consumed
Indifference shines upon your sleeve
“Everything just works out for me”
As you outsource reprieve
With eyes shut to generosity
Paul poses a vital question here
one which brings an eternal outcome
which means one has to get it right
the consequences leave one numb
Do you receive the Holy Spirit
by faith or by works of the law?
surely, only by believing in God
can real faith not have any flaw
So why so often does mankind do
trusting in works of the law depends
when God has made it so clear
the gospel with His Son did send
Foolishness sums up mankind
ever since the fall up to now
they still trust in the flesh
thinking they still don't know how
God's plan is always by the Spirit
and only in the Spirit can God be known
reject all other false, foolish sounds
trust only in Jesus, our chief cornerstone
(Galatians 3:2-3)
2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?)

I am way too flexible if anything
taking one side for a bit
then switching to another
because I am a people pleaser
and a listener
nothing I hear makes me say
“this is absolute”
because to me everything is pliable
I change my opinions pretty often too
none of my ideas are set in concrete
it works for me.
They're the epitome of love.
The most adorable couple in North Pole.
Peaceful harmony for 364 days.

I have inhibitions.
But the dresser drawer collapses on top of me too.
Then I escape trying to explain.
That’s what it is, explaining, extrapolating.
Into crumbs and they don’t believe the crumbs.
I am the eclipse!
That just passes by once or twice.
And when it happens, it is another explanation of the sky.
Then drifts off before…
The sun appears.
I have inhibitions usually.
Clanging against me like metal flower petals.
They don’t believe in crumbs.
Until they change too.
The underclass falls into things
Appreciating food when it comes along
Grateful for a cup of coffee or a hot roast beef sandwich
They do not beg any more
Their relatives are tapped out
Do-gooder church people types seek them out
This is how they get a new pair of shoes
The underclass is surviving
Without apology
Not caring about changing
What works for them
Would not work for many
They have friends who uplift them

Their words and art surrounded her mind in living colors
She worked her design into a vibrant office and studio
Others said they could never have done it; she wondered why
Not understanding that everyone does not have a Gemini mind
