it's a danger, to add a nit to the front
of alacrity, i mean wit. hence forward,
i must find the edges of the muscle fibers
and tense the taught a teaching: tautness
is the essence of mind-emptiness, the
unsung superhero in the meditative heart,
beat to the punch by the violent
and always last in a footrace with a bear.
to slow sideways, avoiding the ups and
downs, it's a delicate, ongoing, comma-
filled procedure, step, by, step, self-
reduplicating, redunderheaded ways
of seeing that i myself can't (won't)
help but utter (stutter) and perhaps
there will be a you at every turn,
if so, thank you, there is gratitude
for eyes willing to see an attempt.
