xxxxx - take care

it sings because the middle is an end and end beginning new

 

 
 
 
 

take care and

 

don’t take something unless you know the place for it

the world speaks in degrees of appropriateness

 

such that, a thing in its place

isn’t proper unless it’s true

 

attention reveals itself in the shape of thoughts

and thoughts formed in subjects discerned

 

in this, to each person the world speaks in worlds

calling through promises in the thoughts and things about us

 

the world speaks in degrees of appropriateness

we hope you will know by the whispers within you

 

take care

 

 

 
 
 

 

the products of reason belong to no one.

possessing, through the illusion of their possession,

the possessed become consumed with their consumptions.

and injustice is freed where mercy risks the surety of giving

in the form of credit that give the world its shape,

and shape it to its reasons.

have you noticed how

the thoughts of others become your thoughts

though you don’t know

how your thoughts

became your own?

and now

you have to navigate a crowd

inside your individual head

just to get to yourself 

 

you might not even be surprised to find

that you didn’t know where you were

or if there was a you to find

and wouldn’t be able to say the things you think

to say 

should your sayings be spoken 

by another voice in the crowd

 

everyone would be in quite a huff then

because they know who said what

and said what when

you were just wandering around

trying to keep your feet on the ground

 

it might really make you wonder then

what makes for what each person can defend

and whether there is a right to thoughts

when everything is mixed and tossed

if it wasn’t for your recipe

would you notice who was in you?
