The
Verb: "To Be"
(c)2013 Bob
Atkinson
"to be"
defines one self
in a simple
kind of way
ignoring all
nooks and crannies
ramifications
forever delayed
a word that
says in statement
oh so clichéd
in practice, "I am"
gives
not much style and integrity
not
much intricacy of action
planned
is,
am, was, were,
along
with he, she and it
become
examples of simplicity
not
descriptions for
speeches fit
words
with all good thoughts erased
dumbed
down by
language
hacks
backed
not
by true
grit
and utility
but
by veneer of effort lacking
turns
complexity to simpleton's banter
deep
thoughts to duh's and ah's
many
ways to rearrange
so
thoughts more easily absorbed
sure,
times do arise
where
these keys fit in a hole
of
course, they can complete a theme
but
please
don't
spread them like jelly on toast
