The Curious Array

 

This curious piece I write today


could have been set to paper


yesterday or prhaps the day before.



In fact it may have been


created a year or two, even


five years or so ago. And for


all it’s worth, no one will ever


care to know.



The issue with writing some-


thing everyday is that one


tends to accumulate so much


material that it floods the


market of the mind, both


yours and mine.



It’s the same as advertising


on TV, the barrage of clutter


is so constant it saturates the


sensibilities. One can easily


become dumbfounded and


numb.



What can I say which


speaks profoundly to


my thinking today?


What of interest do I


ask of you to associate


or relate?



I find myself swimming


in the cesspool of memories.


The quagmire of my thinking


has viscosity thick as sludge.


The possibilities are so end-


lessly deep my feet will never


touch the bottom.



I love custard pie which


I haven’t eaten in quite


some time. I’m willing


to bet, as sure as tomorrow


arrives, that bit of hokum


will slip the surly bonds of our


inquiring minds.
