“can you make it rain harder”
(Prince – before the Super Bowl)
the world don’t behave
and why not
what else is there to be
but transformed?
*
nothing compares
diamonds/pearls
pressure applied/mounting
couldn’t make anything
else
*
when the lakes rose, doves found higher ground. there are tiers. places to rise to.
*
it’s not all symbols,
symbolic, symbolism
but maybe it is. if so, own it. that’s how freedom works. it’s how bats become bigger than the night. how an echo becomes the cave. how in and out transcend placement.
*
and how does an elevator
have the strength to
carry on?
*
what will it take to coax a cessation out of death?
*
as if life
ever had a choice
there’s no other king in town
*
ain’t got no money
working part-time
pretending the rest
.
a little much
. . .
what’s the other?
*
the max,
the morning papers,
the moonlight
who can’t be asked
anything anymore the way it used to when it was cherry
and only a red corvette could be
competition.
