1143

always another

for the picture book of the poem

there’s always another way to see

inside and out of the poem

always other rules to apply

another game to play

there’s bird’s eye, worm blind

sniff a thing through

there’s always another turn to take

another way to turn, groan, ache

there will be a signal you can ignore

so go the other way

can only mean digression –

that sunshine left of field

there’s inside out and upside down

and looking less directly

under the skin, over the top

carry the story along

there’s be the text, bless, curse

fill in another form, take things at face value

you might have seen it differently

if you’d worn your glasses

there’s always another racquet to play

the thing that was missed might have been the way

there’s always a new technique

beginner lucks out with the untried tested

there’s a lie you can tell will pretty the thing

there’s always another truth to unfold

down the chimney or burn up the house

there’s always another way in

another season, second opinion

another way to go

delve under the earth and over the sky

take your cup of poison

there’s drink a way home, play fish

twist and turn, now bed downstream

there’s always another animal

you’ll be untold, so shout out to

allegorize, make homily

see the whole thing now was a joke

there’s always another line of enquiry

and if at first you don’t succeed, take cliché to task

there’s always a way to climb out of the box

sometimes you have to fall through

the only thing that’s passed is time

there’s never this moment again
