Intellimation
Cynthia Arrieu-KingDeduction, poisons, salt in water, eclipse, yoyo.
On these concepts, my youth worked like a grave
Whose six feet of nothing framed, framed
Facts I then loved, and that was okiedokie.
Now, I have loved more, and that's tolerable.
I had saved, and those collages are gone.
An instinct of reading up on how berries survive
and twigs alone beat figures on wind
of how to be prepared helped calm me
for the helpful spoon I was supposed to have been.
O, drinkable blue the sky that swung back then.
The thought of failure lies on a soft cushion.
A race across pavement towards a wrong
swerves from doing what must be done.
