Sunday Poem

Some Criticism, Some Theory, Some Questions

He said,
“Too much plot, too little dancing.”

Plot would have us believe the world
is understandable. Not “The King
died then the Queen,” but
“The king died and the Queen
died of grief.”
…………………… We want cause
to break onto the future like
a great wave.
……………………  So, how is it you
woke up where you woke up this morning?
What was the cause and the cause
of that cause? Is your story line believable?
And why isn’t there more dancing?
