Mockingbird

Moments of clarity. Serviceable joy to the max. A reach for the ledge.
Under-pre-misconstrued points of departure are reality testing itself through credo,
soon to shift, to melt into opposing trajectory.

Rants used to share bliss, words used to undertake meaning.
Transient belief; momentary calm.
the undertaker with his palms clasped.
soon to jostle for surf space with a four hundred watt lightbulb wedged in the space
between my ears.
redo the makeup. Al is well.
May Al be Happy
May Al be Peaceful.

Smile.
This is how we will come to understand
that the mockingbird does point to a concrete reply.
