#1804 - the tightwire

 


1804

5.342

8.xii.24

the tightwire

obviousness and obscurity

for wise surprise

 

that’s where I am

making this up

 

nothing worth saying

no one to hear

 

a lot of things I almost like

 

this is where I am up to right now

always over my own head

 

must have been too delving

almost nobody watching

 

a pile of truth under

one might fall for

 

keep eyes fixed up

in case of sky

 

here just for the fun or it

just for a dance and a song

 

 

 

.


 

second take –

the tightwire

 

that’s where I am

won’t you join me?

or you could just watch

 

I’m making my way

through a thinness of air

 

I mean out of it

I mean

what do I mean to mean?

that’s the question

 

one end of this wire there’s nothing worth saying

the other there’s no one to hear

 

it’s a trip, let’s say

 

a lot of things I almost like

this is where I am up

 

much bigger than me

the shadow of doubt

 

you could say this all an old trick

I’m misled, I’m misleading you

 

yes, always over my own head

 

must have been too delving

 

almost no one sees

what I’m trying to do

 

I have the balance beam in my teeth

sweat pours

the rope is slippery

 

there is a pile of truth

far below

 

you don’t want to look down though

 

keep eyes fixed up

in case of sky

 

this is not for the faint-hearted

one must stay strong

 

we’re here just for the fun or it

just for a dance and a song
