...A Poem by Ookpikhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2U-lL_qdTI&ab_channel=DerDemiurg. . . A Peek Behind the Veil . The questions you have are beyond me, Beyond my ability To naturally conceptualize, beyond my loose citation, My variate and inconsistent study. . I cannot live in that place, the deep waters Would swallow me whole; I am bound Instead - as most men are - To the practicalities of the world: . To phone bills, and mailboxes, Fees and correspondence, To shift-work, and housecleaning, To morning alarms and breakfasts. . . I’ve not the time to spare, but for weekends. I’ve not the sort of pace, Tempo, to so readily approach such questions. . . You want in minutes What would naturally take years - And such eagerness, such lusty Insatiability, laughingly, . Might bring a man to tears. . To want in minutes What would naturally take years Is enough to shake the stomach And laugh a man to tears. . . You make yourself so easy to love That it is difficult not to smile. . . . © 2022 Ookpik |
