to know all is to say nothing

by Charlie Morgan

the wind was editing my thoughts as i walked.
forgetting mathmatical equations of geometry
and glad i would be tested in other ways,

i walked, aimed directly at my coming day;
what was to fear? daily grind? i grind
with the best of them. i grind minds.

the slag of days gone by make a trudging
effort about going to the font of life;
exchanging blindness for sight, seeing.

yet taller shoulders of walkers before
allow only so much of the road to be seen;
a curve is always await; always alluring.

towing their heavy past, a paper bag Crown
for shield from the hard worldly elements
and their legacy following, in turn leading.

music of space accompanies the movements.

This gift and the way you play with it never ceases to amaze me.
