lightness of being 8/20/19

if flattery were the sky

and candor were the clouds

do we live for reign

or sunny daze?

yes paradox has roots in the wild blue yonder

and gravity is a complimentary tease

in that regard

since we are personally caught between

an up-pull-gravity 

and the obviousness of the down.

up-gravity is so paradoxically disguised

complex beyond attention span or interest

so we honor the religion of down

we have the keepsakes of identity 

and the namesakes of wordiness around

so if flattery were the sky

and candor were the clouds

what is the weather of your awareness

and how do you have climate-eyes?

and which, if either

contributes to your essential

lightness of being (?) . . .
