In the uneven margins
And over the scribbled lines
Sometimes the sad gallons in the moon
A tattoo of a trash heap
The sleeve of poesy rolled up like a cup
The sky
Was never where it was
The stillness you feel
Is the universe expanding
The measure needed
For new windows
Sooner and later is a just so story
The mystery keeps its gambols
naïve haircuts 
love the line ‘the stillness you feel/ is the universe expanding’: eerie and strangely calming like the poem itself: ‘a just so story’ —

I’m sort of addicted to you tube or not sort of, totally. I should buy a turn table or a compact disc player and order albums and CD’s to reward musicians. Anyway, I get home from work and start up you tube and the thing spits out one tune or album after another. Today, I had a hankering for The Kinks and well, the song “Apeman” goes pretty damn well with the last line of this poem, a new word for me – gambols……”the mystery keeps its gambols.” That’s a wonderful line and i mean it literally as in wonder full, filled with wonder, this entire poem, has me hoping that some playful meets me this weekend and you too Bob and all your readers. I’m drinking Boreale IPA, mostly because it’s 6.2 %. Now I’m switching to the band Brain Jonestown Massacre.

Thanks Steve! I love the Kinks, and Apeman is fantastic. I just played it to refresh my memory. And the song really sums up how I feel lately about this world. Then I had to put on This Time Tomorrow, on the same record…and just as excellent a song. Enjoy your IPA! Enjoy your weekend…and hopefully something interesting and wonderful happens. Keep the mystery alive!

“This Time Tomorrow.” I don’t think I’ve heard that song. I’m off to You Tube. Thanks Bob!

I read this late last night and had to come back and read it again. I also love all the aforementioned lines, especially:
“The sky
Was never where it was” right through to the end.
