7741. THE BIG HIGH-RISE CEMENT-HEAD ME

THE BIG HIGH-RISE 

CEMENT-HEAD ME

Once. Maybe. The semblance of things real. 

William Blake, it was, who said : "A cup can't

contain beyond its own capaciousness,' and I

agreed to that, my cup runneth over, and all. 

-

'Lesson learning catching up with itself.'

Yes, I said that  -  and a long time back too.

I've used it a few times over the years, sprinkled

here and there in things I've written. You know why?

Because those weren't my own words, just my spirit's.

-

First thought that entered when I came back to life :

what, 1958? Still red and raw from fevered scar-tissue.

These were the words running inside my head.

'Lesson learning, catching up with itself.'

Yes, yes, and that's not all it said.
