Magpie Tales 153: Choice

shuffle 

choices are 

products of creation

though heaven knows 

we try to remain faithful

to tradition,

shuffling lives,

moments, specifics 

then we question 

reality and relevance;

wind sings through

telephone wires, and 

we, 

the recipients of culture,

pretend innocence still.

Charlotte Gainsbourg, AnOther
