talk to the poem, not to me.

talk to the empty air, not to me.

talk to the birds, they might care.

those are three lies if you hadn’t guessed.

everything that was true at the beginning,
remains the truth.   go ask.

politely sincerely genuinely from your heart.
        ask.

but you have to listen first.
 
 
some meals last as long as a life.

God said, let them see I love them all,
that’s your job.   go write.

no parent wants to be unknown to
their child.   same same, God with us.

ask.   answers land in front of you.

just like a bird.
