On It All

by Jeffrey Parren

they're just words
typed upon a keyboard
or written in ink
or
perhaps worse
written with pencil
to be erased
by the withering of the aged
or the magic eraser

these letters forming groups
gathering to mean something more
because alone they were nothing

these simple little strokes
curves and lines
connecting together
forming a path
to hopeful enlightenment

these festering thoughts
beg to be released
to be freed to mingle
usually without aim
but still finding their way

and in the end
it all stops
where it began

the loops that are

words
letters
symbols

dance on every moment
and as the music changes
so does the excitement
of language

...jeff, better and better; you are writing on a level that is cool, existential and yet a daily planet kind of thing...another good one, jeff.
