if we are receptive to the mechanism
wisdom begins to define us
and the parameters we function within
as we age
i cannot deny
your existence is all together unlikely
a defiant day lily insisting upon rising above
the early spring snow
i’ve learned to pay no attention
as pablo’s smoke rises beneath my window
but there you are
orange crush inevitable
our eyes full of unwritten poems
the feel of your suit
a sensation insisting
there are things i should know
