    Poem Commentary

    the saw shows its teeth, but water is harder than wood.  the wind spits its seed and the orange grows like a beard on the face of a blade.  old age arrives, suddenly......

    (maybe that's what i mean, but not certain.  could be that's what i need, but who knows....perhaps its exactly the right thing for ending the hurt.....but i'm never quite sure.)

    subtle

    the saw
    shows its
    teeth,

    but you
    see, they
    cant

    be cleaned.

    water is
    harder than
    wood,

    so the
    saw chooses
    meat

    for meal.



    the orange
    grows like
    a beard

    on the
    face of
    a blade-

    its juices
    dissolving the
    day

    old age
    arrives like
    a breeze,

    suddenly.
