liturgy…

Listen with your third ear. You’ll
hear it from those who’ve outgrown Narnia:
Life hasn’t turned out like I planned.
Look with your third eye. You’ll
see it in spines scoliated by
the relentless press of elegy.
What to do?
Don’t be elbowy with your one mouth.
Bless, somehow, with your two hands.

    This is one to be read out loud. And slowly.

    Thanks, John.

    Elbowy with you mouth? Whoa…
    I may print this one and hang it in the hall of the rock house if that’s okay by you.
