the spirit

(embodied in the public Paul Kelly- whom we saw last night)

The way you work throughout this world un-nerves

and topples all the pow’rs that think they are

so big and mighty, that they’ll hardly swerve

so someone else might not be shrunk or barred.

Communicators who thinks of the ones

they’re trying to communicate with for

some purposes which work like Dads with Sons

or Mums with daughters (neither less nor more),

to aid and to abet, to partner with, 

in such a way that has no apron strings

but only more enablement of kith

and kin alike, have more contributings,

more givings out, provisioning and smiles.

More smellings of the roses, so they’re close 

to garden/ growing metaphores. And while

some others might “count up” before disclose-

zing what they think to do, so they won’t shed -

in terms of what maintains, protects, enhance-

ses, their own world created in their head.

These ones are like the One, who loves to dance,

not just because they save or it will pay,

without thought of what come-backance erupts.

They “count up” not for what others would say

or even think, they want to finish up!

So this whole big shebang is better off,

that’s even if they’re never famous or

a household word, or honoured, or not scoffed 

at. These ones will not ever be a bore!
