Shoot The Breeze With Me
I don’t want to write
I don’t have anything to say…
For I have far more to say than
Would be natural
Or helpful
If I start
I might never stop
I’m holding it all in
I’m holding it all back
For nothing seems to fit
The context
To fit
At this table they’ve created out here
There’s nothing linear here
Nothing to follow
Or track
Or fit the framework
That’s been set
Ask a question…
Let me tell you,
The answer will surprise you
It surprises me
We never quite know
What we’re gonna get
There’s a mystery here
That is just below the surface
Too shy to come out
For those that don’t appreciate a
Good bit
Of mystery
For those expecting
Linear thinking
Agenda
Structure
Or cleanliness
Those unacquainted with
The art
That first looks like
Disarray
It doesn't feel safe
It’s not for the risk-averse
It doesn’t seem to serve any
Particular purpose
It’s just a superfluous mess
Are there any readers,
Listeners,
Who are ready
To waste some real time with us?
To muse until they’re blue
Because they just enjoy the thing
Of musing to muse
To talk
Ideate
Feel
Opinion-ate
Not to solve
Or create
Except for to create
Fun
Intrigue
Interest
To indulge curiosity
Where have the days
Gone
To just hang
To hang?
Utility has taken over
So lean back
Pull up a chair
Waste some time with me
Gather around the campfire
Slow down
To sing
To hear
To chat
To read each other’s
Hearts
Just because it’s
Interesting
There’s still plenty of time
To shoot the breeze
Just to shoot the breeze
