Some Of It Is All There

I.

I am in the big green park which is green again and it is spring and I love
you and the park and the red birds in it. When you have birds in youPhoto Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
they are red and when it rains they eat enough for several years. Worms
become an offering to the sidewalks, or perhaps it is a performance,Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
two boys playing basketball, but it is really you and me who are
playing basketball but you are taller so you always win unless you let mePhoto Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
have the last word or one of yours. I would prefer that. Red birds are
positioning themselves in the field. They are coming closer and by the timePhoto Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
they get here, I’m in my room looking through all my things wondering
where you are. How many charges we’re going to get. I think you made the windPhoto Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
blow harder because I hear something. If we get far enough south
we could grow new tongues, we could regard each other newly. When I mail thisPhoto Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
it will contain paper and ink and those will make up a rendering of my house
just as they also make up certain declarations. I am not keeping anythingPhoto Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
secret.Your night is becoming my morning and if we keep this up
we could be all the time in sunlight and even the weather wouldn’t bother us.
