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.
