reason enough


it’s easier
to romance a sun-filled day
than to tread through the thick mud
that hinders
aaaaaaaaaanalysis,
correct & true
for the
moment.

yes, it’s easier to do,
meandering
some words
together
into
short lines.

but
the capture
is fleeting,
a repositioned reason
will struggle again
—& must reclaim
in order
to make sense
&
persuade.

aaaaaaaaaaaa—still,
I do this now:

thinking of a lazy day
that produced
these
brief lazy lines
is reason
enough.
