why was I the surrealist
dancing my fancy boots round
with the laces in dishevel
worshiping other people's gods
and going home alone

it was much easier to teach
the giraffe to swim
once he saw the bathtub
was not so deep as I predicted
and his neck could still be out

so you could see his colors
when you brought buckets of sun
and washed him carefully down
using only your hands
and slippery fingers

and although you ignored me
in my cellophane lathering
you did brush against my mind
with your busy hips at times
when serving mangos to the eyes

of those flat screen movie stars

serene one, I have memorized most of the agnostic gospels ...but am rewriting them to be more user unfriendly, I am currently spending much of my time in leviticus creating stronger penalties.  thanks otherhalf

Your hymn has brushed against my mind....and although you don't always call it a hymn, I usually like the sound.

I read this as my mind was perched on the rim of some dreaded place, and I smiled and stepped back. Thanking you for filling the hollow with lightness.

I clearly understand the giraffe's caution
Stranger
going all the way under
can be dangerous
better to keep your neck out...

I like it
