"Verse was invented as an aid to memory. Later it was preserved to increase pleasure by the spectacle of difficulty overcome. That it should still survive in dramatic art is a vestige of barbarism." [Stendhal, "De L'Amour," 1822]
as children we live the eternal summer as adolescents we go on in eternal blunder in middle age we accept the eternal surrender until old age washes in eternal slumber

the eternities of life
There is a beginning, and an end; contentment is in the middle

the planets. the peaches. pruned. picked. for the reaches. the centuries. a second to the eternities. you can have it. say laugh when. you hear the jazz note. the voice of all that i spoke. the saxophone. like dialing digits of truth. on the telephone. come on. say one and two. up and down. the diversity in one single crown. upon the ears of sound. it's the heart's listening device. toss it like rice. at a wedding. human genes get paired up. and twisted. so simple. it comes in flavors of licorice. red and black. off and on. check the track. when the needle skips. we find all these differences. let me bring it back. for diversity. zeroes and ones. spread the spectrum. across high and low frequencies. it's so easy. let the record speak. can you stay on beat. the principles of the high. the sincerity of the meek. whatever lies between. is one or the other. blended across the centuries. and all mothers. give birth to the last. man to the first. follow that. discussion of high low. mid ranges get blown. saxophone pace the flow. get pricked by the tweeters. soul from the bass feeders. save the appetite. for the words that i write. and then speak. you you. not me. splitting hairs. atoms. quarks. and light. beams. like a smile. across a broad spectrum. either off. always on. high low. then get gone.

diversity
hearts falling like shells blasted to find love brandished as a weapon held tight as a warm gun convection's heat from the barrel of passion searing the handle of emotion

love brandished
The banana is an inside joke from God It is His calling card And you can call home if you would hold it to your ear and speak directly to Him Just kidding Bananas are for the belly He would have used perforated edges but naysayers would be in an uproar "How could your God think us so stupid!" For they always imagine that God reflects their own stupidity And the atheist too would have a fit and a slew of jokes about how the real evidence of God has banana split But just like little children know mother puts the best food in the lunchbox Humble believers can tell you good loving means good grubbing on the inside of the banana peel And that's real
