which one, pictures or diagrams?A Poem by h d e rushinMy sister banging on the door of the funeral home to give to the funeral director a pair of socks so that the feet of her dead niece wouldn't be cold. Which in some tangled fantasticate was the act of the purest of mad women. Then I thought, this is it. This is the great metaphor i'd hoped for/ Some among us wait a lifetime for this moment, like Mantle explaining to the universe the sweet spot on that Spalding "Black Betsy" or Jordan trying to explain "the zone", "when everything you throw in the air, just falls", I think he said. When I was younger and pulling the string on the "See and Say" all it took was a gentle twist of a sticky palm to get the same response but for others the imagined flesh wont speak without coaxing. Like the man with the camera phone who captures the last blue whale's breach. Then drops it in the sea. © 2015 h d e rushinFeatured Review
