the clinch in cliche

i don't have to be a brain surgeon

to know i am not a rocket scientist



i can be simple



circle the cows and dance

until the wagons pull in front

of the horses



but i can't dance the words

like marionettes

in such a way that i make

you toggle the switch



to bend the forumula

and pinch the recipe



and move on to

another act of kindness



i don't need to know

what i am not saying

or what i am avoiding



i am making the jungle gibberish

that unwraps the clues



to yesterday and beyond



but i am looking for

a thumb with a face and someone

who likes to go for the ride of joy

with the guy who is smarter

than slice bread
