In reply to: Gray Squirrel 's message, "Please Understand" on 04:38:22 06/20/02 Thu

A depth of writing Gray that is so
effective even with "the window" stanza
getting me a tad dizzy while understanding
what you meant, at least to a large degree
I trust, and wish you reunited
with "Please understand"
if that would work for you and she. Susanne

>Please Understand

>The last time I was
>In the atmosphere,
>You said goodbye
>For awhile.

>And your reluctant leaving
>Said "please understand,"
>Where you had no choice, but...

>But anyway, I watched

>Up the car, and

>On black rubber tires,
>Friction on asphault.

>And through the window
>Overlooking the elevated porch
>Of the place I lived in
>Before I "lived" in the
>Place I "lived" in before
>The place I "live" in now...

>Over those random years and

>Clay and dust,
>Where rabbits and foxes
>Dig in and
>Compete for numbers and days,

>So easy, so hard and
>Normal, like...

>Like it knew I wouldn't.

>Like it didn't mean to say
>"So what?" Like it couldn't really
>Fire like a floating bullet
>And stop.
