Unimportant Verse 9
#9 of Unimportant Verse About Important People
Tightly wound springs
Of very carefully
Not touching.
Secret words
To be said
With confidence.
Rules.
Prohibitions.
Limits.
Discussions planned,
Side-channels arranged,
Whiskey purchased.
And now anxiety
Over what it means
And how to work it.
Is it worth it for
Long-standing questions
To be answered?
To invite disaster
For sake of knowledge
And further dreams?
Maybe the answer
Is that tired refrain:
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.
And now we're
Awaiting weeks
Of careful touches.
