love without complications? i don't know
i think of my guitar
but we need to be apart sometimes
for one reason or another -
it's not a perfect world
and i'm learning the piano
and why must love compete?
maybe there's something about simultaneity
but i wasn't convinced when some friedman or another made that point either -
i know you need plenty for just the one
and convergence is a big part of it
and i try to love the world
i try to love all those miniature dials
all mysterious extraneous like
how many instruments do you need?
and to wear them on your sleeve like that?
i don't know
my instruments stay warm, though,
and i find the absence brings me closer, too,
like when i get back i can hear everything dancing
all tones over and under and all through my heart
like a sunset sea dip when everything aligns
and i love it all
and all at once
