Idealism

 

I think I should start a new book today

And maybe dare to eat a peach

I don’t know about significance

I think it’s in my cup of coffee

And when I can sit with someone

Share the drink

Part of the day

Then the increase in meaning is

Exponential

 

I’m sorry it’s not more profound

Or that I haven’t a mightier metaphor

The sun’s come out; it’s pale blue

My favorite color

Today, I’d rather know yours

Trusting it’s green or

Yellow or

Something wonderfully different

 

We use what we believe

We go for something better, each time

At least, I hope we do

 

I’m stuck with my words, I guess

And nothing smarter

I’d say I’d share

But I didn’t make any of them

We trade in what was made already

Long ago and new each time

(what was that formula for n?)

 

It’s a little bluer

A little greener, too

It’s cold; it’s January

A new combination for the day

A day we haven’t filled in yet

How about that?

Let’s go
