Subject: Obligatory Poem

Obligatory Poem

This obligatory poem,
Mind over mustard,
The sum total of a moment
Out of character.

I wish you well,
I feel sad for you.

Them bones, them bones...
I see walking shoulders
Pushing on,
Shoulders that are curving forward
Waiting for other hands.

Wishing.

And somewhere else,
Her voice makes a small sound
Totally irrelevant to the part
She has to play,
The things she says.

Somewhere else.

A fall day, made of spins and angles,
Made of tradition and evolution,
Made of concurrent paths.

Everyone eventually leaves
For no good reason at all.

Swing low, sweet chariot,
We suffer from this gravity,
We curse and sweat and
Find our lovers and friends
Praying like Pegasus.

Sing a heart's delight,
Make us sure they're
Safe and warm,
Provide a home,
Be kind, oh blustery wind.

This same poem, rewritten,
With completely different words.
This same instant, motioning,
Come out and play!

But, I'm sorry...

The day is over.

-Gray Squirrel
