BOUNCE  EFFECT

Of course there is the bounce effect ….

Smiles beget smiles ….

Sound bounces off walls -

echoes in rooms and down the halls ….

Cells, microbes, germs, viruses,

squeeze against each other - as
people do in a a NYC subway car 

at 8:02 - on a going to work morning ….

Anger, screams, slamming noises

begets more and more angry noises ….

Every word - all aggression -

doesn’t just happen -

it’s loaded with the garbage barges

of nasty smells from up river ….

So let me place  these words

like a paper boat on the water

and let them float till they bounces into you ....
