dumbfounded   before he took another step he went to the dictionary and found there were 37 similars for the past-tense 37 similars for dumbfound

                                      typically he was dumbfounded 

after the fact

if he found dumb

he usually shookem not wanting to have anything to do with em

before bed in bed before readingtrying to shake off one too many bowls he decided he didnt its wha he did to write compose

                 evidently he hadnt enough earlier  FACKcomposed throughout the day to either side of taking his sister for their her  twice-a-year walk remembering

                                                       he doggedlyadamantly protected their walks  the walks of many others too 

Kiss my assIm busy  unapologetically

     

fossil trace ichnology which recording for future reference misspelled inchology had dumbfounded him  rather its sense

the sign left in the rock record by the impress of life rather than life itself & marks that the dead and the missed leave behind

        dumbfounded

   

so freestyling refusing to make a vertical list reminded him of honey-dos his buddies wives made for them seemed to him that women liked their demands listed vertical  his wife didnt that was nipped in their courtship she was welcome to make all the lists she wanted for herself

                                              she was exceptional at it

freestyling

             he wrote dumbfounded – deer in the headlights – moth to flame – dog on a bone – trout rising to a fly – shark to blood – bee to honey

                                  temptation   tempted

Christ  Its all temptation

   then

it becomes a trial of willpower

which can be abruptly delineated

heads or tails

if one were so inclined 

he wasnt

heads or tails  morals  good or bad   invocations

an in-between the bi-section is non-existent

either-or

   he paused

pretty black-white

   he thought

when an unassuming geode its all a matter of scale is the size of a room that you can walk into pour yourself a drink put on a record relax in an easy chair

                                     when its all around you

you can breathe it

rub your feet on it

brush static electricity into your hair

bathe in it

   then

its just you-who you think you are

you can indulge yourself savor  finish your drink

luxuriate in your temptation

   then

be who you are 

                                      fascinating

nicest thing about the geode

theres no door

just an opening 

                   readied for the next trial of confidence
