Master Key
Or, Why You Should Say Yes
(A poem by a Faust)
“A prison becomes a home when you have the key.”
- George Sterling
Sometimes the still possible’s yet rumored unlikely
but considering sources means going back over the scene
of some still secret crime against pleasure — conspiracy
of the sort one finds looking into what painful has been
May my words fly & be free, such that you, so that we
all can & do take, get to take, this most wonderful chance —
So that, since you know what I know, & see what I see,
we all get to go trip & frolic, sing, play, & dance
Some things are just too real
Some times are just so sweet
Some things you have to feel
Some people you should meet
All this to say: please if you would — well consider, unboxed
Because that which sustains us looks askance at all locks.
