essential creativity
Not everything is designed to make a point
Sometimes a point is made from things facing away from each other
And that’s the point
Sonny came by today, shot some hoops after dinner
And I had an inch-long needle stuck just north of a lingual nerve
As the novocaine crawled through my gums I thought about Sonny
My boy and me separate dentist chairs, mouths open, mouths in pain
For things we try to say but make no point
Understanding more from a basketball and a darkening sky
Two points.
I was on a plane on Friday and the jukebox cockpit jockey grunt yells out
That it was 14 below zero outside
What is this, a contest?
I’m not planning on being outside at 30,000 feet
And I didn’t pack for that kind of weather
Re:gardless, the next day I got a sore throat and the next day after that is today
I pass by the airport on the way back from Dad’s house
Sunday night/time to re: LAX
I see the sign
And the cold truth is as a father
I don’t know if I ever will.
