San Diego City Council meeting minutes, May 22
Liz Swain 4:24 p.m., May 24
a night light shining through the
window onto a wall
real or imaginary tempted him
to think if only but
he spoke deep and nasal
stating -
no tres-pess-sing
on my soul -
do not disturb signs
displayed
down the hall
inside the room at the back
of the house
accumulated dust
black hair
begets grey
muscles softened
finger nails cut very short
mailman walks by everyday
outside the light remains on
to scare raccoons
away

One can only press upon one's soul if invited to do so, no? If there is a--dare I say it--a wanting to be pressed upon by, conscious or subliminal. Regardless, all sorts of things tend to leave imPRESSions upon mine. For better or for worse, "If only but..." If's, if's, and more if's. Gosh...all that we don't do, that we restrain ourselves from doing. Ah, well. I've no doubt it is all as it is meant to be. A-Tisket-A-Tasket. Nice Poem, Z.
