ten between


if you know
someone who thinks
more than this
let me know
will get the next thought
out into the air quicker
on top of the mountain
and the thick sheet of snow
not just on the side
of those heading up
hoping to make it
no doubt find the top
without having to try to fake it
and I might take it from
whomever had it first
and as many random thoughts
won’t quench the thinker’s thirst
for more I won’t stop at the door
at the table head down
into this book smoke thick
like a dread the future
it keeps coming and no one can stop it
you might have thought these
thoughts fell off after Drop It!
ten years between
back at it again
ten more years of thought
from now going back to then
until now someone
standing up straight
all thoughts of some Babylon
riches are going to have to wait
until more money made
because wealth is what runs
the world down
so many of these thoughts
pulled in all directions
except down
been suffocated by so many
won’t let myself down
after all  sorts of time
owe it to myself
put down the pen a minute
to get another book on
your shelf…
