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.
