A SONG REMEMBERED
Does everyone have a song –
a song remembered – played
in the back of their brain – in
the shower – in a storm – in pain –
that gets them to the other side
of a ache – or the
echo of a joy?
Ooops! There’s the genesis of
a new song: “The Echo or the
Ache” - life in
the inside of
everyone – in the need of song.
What's your song - like the one
at the beginning of a wedding?

Go figure.
You want me to be different
than I am - but you don't really
know who I am - so tell me who
you want me to be - or as I suspect:
as you would want me to be.
Go figure.
That's what I did and that's how
I figured out what you really want
of me. Come up with a proposal.
Present me with a before and after
description and I might say, "I'm trying."
TRANSFIGURATION

YELLOW:
BANANA OR BUTTER
Yellow: a good choice for a favorite color.
If one needs to place two volunteers to win
that contest: it would be wise to place a banana
or a rectangle of cold butter before the judges.
Or how about butter on a baked potato or on six spears
of roasted asparagus or on a slice or rye bread toast?
I think those two could beat red as in strawberries
or purple as in plums or blue as in blue birds.
