SIMON SAYS

Actually Simon (Paul Simon) said, decades ago:

And maybe you'll find a love

That you discover accidentally,

That falls against you gently

As a pickpocket brushes your thigh...

Further to fly!

Effortless music from the Cameroons,

The spinning darkness of her hair,

Conversations in a crowded room going nowhere.

The Open Palm of Desire wants everything,

It wants everything.

It wants the soil as soft as summer

And the strength to push like spring.

That's what is missing in COVID times, about which no one is talking.  That threadbare possibility.
