Jabbering On While Preparing To Move

A “forever endeavor,”
one might almost say,
if one weren’t afraid
of implying this way

(in a rhyme so inane
that it freezes the mind
into numbing despair)
one could possibly grind

enigmatic Eternity
into a phrase –
that its sources, effects
and its means and its ways

could be trampled and shoved
and so brutally sandwiched
in something as lame
as that parcel of language:

but sound does have potency –
things could be worse
than Infinity burping
up nursery verse –

so let’s lilt to an end
and not worry if we
have no hope of an adequate
literacy.
