simple gesture

skirt the issue
lay fiction with fact
the rally
the relay
under attack
bring meaning to all discourse
mentioning dysfunctional names
not playing
to win
life’s game remains
pick up your piece
act the part
if your nose
is bent
do the roses smell the same
a whiff a waft
the scent shall linger
longer
let it penetrate the pores
follicles dance in delight
wrongs
made
right
with such a simple gesture
hugs work
on rain or rain not days
understanding
we carry the dirt of the world
on our shoes
remove them
wash your feet
smile at me
and i’ll smile at you
laughter only counts in 2’s
follow your heart
it’s a soul’s wish
finish your dinner
your thought
your wine
now dance with me
once
but not the last time
