16 – Late Afternoon Geometry

Lines may blur

angles too

steep to draw

like licorice busies the mouth

of each jester who likes to love

connecting dots to bring to life

forms of being

the shapes of which we never see.

The blueprints seem all messed up!

They have no sides

but they exude.

All we say is what we draw:

Lines blurring

angles too steep to speak.

So we shelter these mouths

with candy pops

while jesters wear the blueprints like paper hats

bending corners to some degree.
