What if you cannot see the forest for the trees
and one falls?
What if we cultivated wisteria and dandelions
and called orchids and roses weeds?
I am inclined to hold up a peace sign with one hand
while giving the finger with the other.
What if every act of kindness
generated two acts of kindness?
Eventually every act of evil would be forgiven.
Because
Does the universe not have to sort out the same for all
. . .or not at all?
the same for every soul that has ever existed
or has the soul itself ever existed
at all?
fuck 'em if they can't take a joke

    I think I would like to attempt to answer sum or one or some of those.

    Love the blending of two known expressions (also the synesthesia of senses) creating something unique in the first couple lines. Bad ass!

    I am tired; my heart is
    sick and sad. From where
    the sun stands I will fight
    no more forever."

    OK, I know what bad ass means
    such high praise
    I am honored and humbled
    (even if I did have to look up synesthesia)

    evolution of the soul has been my most intense mind blowing, head spinning, wonderment barely edging out evolution of the universe
    and baby, there are so many wonderments
    fuck 'em if they can't take a joke
