(be) word rooted: revised & redesigned & reapprised

(be) word rooted

 

 

 

 

————-

oops there goes another rubber tree plant! (1)

 

another poem title slips past me, not

properly stored,

as proposed and intended for futurity development

 

so we let it.

Be!

~~~~~~~~

but for those who might wonder,

here is a brief addendum:

———————————-

the mothers these days

tell their children:

use your words!

instead of tears, fists, stomping feet, curses,

guns or even,

***** looks;

 

which triggers me to myself

to think:

 

‘tis a far better thing I ever done, (line borrowed)

 

to tell them, & me too,

 

be,

word rooted,

 

and let them

be

the softest tissued words,

 

to bring you to peace,

exactly, like it does for,

 

exactly like it does

fini~nml

for me…nml

(1) High Hopes

So any time your gettin' low 'stead of lettin' go

Just remember that ant, oops there goes another rubber tree plant

(Oops there goes another rubber tree plant)

Oops there goes another rubber tree plant
