Kit Kelen #698 - it's not too late




698
not too late


ear to the Earth
and listen

it's not too late

to let the thing alone
to be amended
silent sorry

to stand up
where they've knocked you down

to throw the lightning back
to thunder

to stop and think
to bring the brink back
into bounds

cup hands
catch rain

there's still a tree left

it's not too late

to stitch up time

to get a ticket
go

to be swayed
to lime the light
to glow

to be discovered
give short shrift

to place a bet
to unmake minds

tame beast within

it's not too late
to paw and growl
and pander when required

to get fired up
stoke institution

it's not too late
to stand corrected

to make it up

to pay the rent
to parley

to supersize
to say no thanks

to parapeep
think better of

to simply let the thing unravel

it's not too late
to stretch and yawn
and tuck back under cover

to call these ruins home

to put a shine on everything
to paper over cracks
tell lies

to umake minds
swing chandelier
turn champagne into beer

it's not too late

to hold the mirror up
dive in
find fish
drink with them

it's not too late
to sober up
to straighten

to save the day
to truth be told
to eke out ache

it's not too late
to come from scratch
the itch is everywhere

the appetite as well
it's never too late for breakfast

it's not too late
to throw the lightning back
to thunder

ear to the Earth
and listen

there's still a tree left
it's not too late

the damned thing
still goes round
