Tolerance for a short time

Did we ever think that day
Never knew to untwine
What mouths were uttering
Words knots sublime

Did we ever know how we would fail
of words
Of words that prevailed

Did we ever dream of sunrise or sunset or

Did we ever think

Of laughter or uproar

May be a broken piece on a broken road
We didn't have a piece or peace
Just something on overload

Maybe we just tossed about
In broken words

Or maybe we just had an idea

And I recommend a gravy, heating with a mixture including tomatoe sauce and quite rare

Thrown some eggs in

To hard boil

Stream a few more

To ferment in the stew

And why is this so different

If you are trying to be born anew

Everyone you hurt
Has to praise you anew

All this is words

And nothing more than that

But if I spoke it

It would seem like ratatat

It is purely nonsense but

We live and die by it

and

Who pays the Piper

Who writes the hit

Exactly!!  

I wait now at the lake or walking by the bay
I wait and listen or put a seashell
to my ear and it all comes back
the wind's soft murmur..and you.

Bodger,

in so many ways
this hits a home run...

or just home
in heart
period.

Well done, Sir.

And thank you.
