Analysis of Inspiration is Invisible
I could tell you
I am inspired by living,
Or by life,
Or that complex combination
Of both we hold dear,
Ignoring those difficulties
Pressing us.
And I could say you are
Dear to me,
Or I'm angry most of the time,
And pump stress from my heart.
In other words:
You can't fall from a barn
And laugh the whole way,
You'll wonder just how
You slipped on that walnut.
