speaking of lin




war

 

 

marketa says don't do it

reading my mind

it's too large a concept

 

it isn't the concept   i say   it's the reality

she's struggling to understand

 

 ~

 

my dear sweet lynn   do you have the words

to convey the reality of war

or the experience 

 

is that the issue   i reply   my experience   if so   

her questions must go unanswered

 

~

 

answer her questions

of course

leave the concepts and realities for another day   

 

perhaps another voice

give it time

 

~

  

she's right   there is no logic to it   no sense 

so here it is   

one question at a time   no grand vision   

 

listen to her questions    point her to good media   

give her time

You are so good at these conversational poems. I read this as 'Gently does it', or as an old boss of mine used to say when i was young, "Softly, softly, catchee monkey" - a saying he used without malice I might add. Blessings, Allen
