others
have said enough
People
Are always
Looking to strip the layers ..
The story beneath the
Story,
The tendons behind the facemask,
The scared mouse listening to a cricket symphony behind the wall,
The light finding a sale on 'dark accessories',
The
Finger
Going
Forward,
Around
The
Corner
Curving like
A
Precipice,
Laughing like a blind woman
Going like mad happy down the sidewalk to buy a Snapple and play
The new Braille version of their instant win sweepstakes ..
Yes,
Whether it's people talking down the street,
In a building
Or
On a platter of television fed raw to cooked and poached eyes,
People
Are
Lookin
Lookin
Lookin
For a way to peel through the paint,
Melt the varnish
And
Beckon the groundhog before the sun rises ..
Yes,
I would
Say
More
But I believe
Others
Have said enough,
Friends.
