JUST

JUST

poem is a
     thing

one does not just
should not just
               staple
together

wind, rain
solar            flare
whatever the weather

whether enjambment
can just run
away with it
rhyme
   superimpose itself
or superposition you
wave and
    molecule in
relation to its pattern

breath blow
       like electricity flowing
out
of a jug

magnetic pole, spin
see it be pulled and pushed
hither and thither

mussed up like
coiffure suddenly exposed
to what
    storm can do

making it worse, much worse,
and thereby
   intriguing reading

touching your chimes as
it wafts through your pagoda

appearing
   out of nowhere, inviting
itself for
main course

settling down
            prepared for sacrifice
ready
to give its all

pretty much
holding forth
holding the fort

conforming
to the topography
of your tiny plate
at your gigantic table
