The Poem And The Pen
The poem looked at the pen and wondered where it was
next
to
in its travels
to be or not to be (as has been noted)
to was or is to was and its designed/resigned construct
to have, have not, have something
to observe in flower’s blush, bloom
swoon
to participate in anger’s rush, hubris
arise
be skeptic, be cryptic, be cynic, be conflict
be irony unintended intentionally, vice versa, state of being
be boring, be out of place, be out of time (in/of many)
be the third man in a world of two, the thin man, a straw man, a real man
be obviously not
be economical, be telling
be fun, be the party, be in tune
be discordant
be proximity
be change, be crumpled, be-gin again
remember of at who you wished and your forgotten’s
tap your feet
orchestrate
.
