NECESSARY TEASE
The stars tease the sky, and Death
teases Life - or is that, perhaps, the
other way around? Water teases ice and
it goes the other way as well, as logic
teases farce and Heaven teases Hell.
These are all the factors of hearts and
minds - which tease each other just
as well, the grown man finds.
-
There are other kinds of tease and other
kinds of chase as well (and, no, we are
not just all projections in a very simple
movie) - the sad tree jutting sideways
and trying to grow on the bar-room side
of 17th where, across the curb, the tar-side
oasis of some old and glimmered cab sits.
Yet, there is really nowhere to go at all.
Free or not, we remain in fetters.
-
Freedom teases bonds, as bonds
tease all those fetters.
