Everybody knows you need
A seed that you can grow.
Need connection to a setting
and a theme that's apropos.
I love a tension between
what is heard and what's unseen.
A major C to minor D suggests
narration fabrication juxtaposed.
Soliloquy in form of prose.
Rhyme schemes that keep you on your feet.
Dactyls and iambs seem crucial and
I am one who fell
into that once alluring well
until I went to sing it out and found
A spoken voice can run a foot into a million.
And lucky me my major crutch,
such a weight this duo lugs.
While I kick back and steep my tea
and all the world belongs to me.
