so
you think you know my soul's decor
I can assure you, you don't---nor
do I
still
I encourage you to explore
find what you knew not before

so
come on down and choose a door
dance across it's newborn floor

and
skip stones across it's waters, from it's shore
pick the flowers from it's moor

then
sit quietly and listen to it's roar
you'll surely know more than you knew before

but
you'll still not know my soul's decor

nor--
do In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is King--Tom Waits

This is very interesting, with its mono- rhythm and also thought provoking. Joyce

Interesting style. I like it.
