It's a sure cause for chaos
"she felt like an actress just
reading her lines"
And the pages were bleeding under the 65 watt light
I could be like Socrates and
answer a question with an even better question
But talking to myself is like talking to a two
thousand year old wall
It becomes more and more difficult then even you are
In stanza three:
I could say whats really on my heart
This is the meat of the poem
This is the part where I give you
something tough to chew on
Yes, the fresh stainless steel cut of
the final line that sends you sideways
upside down and stunned
Ive let the connection burn burn burn
Its static crackling my ears
Rip it up and your hands instinctively crumble
Theres more to it then the alphabetic letters or
the composed verses
Behind them all is the creator
The writer, who puts them carefully together for
a specific reason
To shout out a specific message
to one specific listener
A firecracker in a jar
Now that would be 4th of July chaos
But I have been there, and I have done that
And I would do it again in a heartbeat:
to feel the rush of a surely painful explosion
the adrenaline, somehow packed down into memory
then the bits and pieces sharded into you
sometimes they even remain a part of you- in the
form of undying, bubbling scars.

"I could be like Socrates and
answer a question with an even better question"
I loved this poem!
Much Love

exquisitely crafted to the final line.
