From a slow and sudden God: 40 years of wonder.
the passive entertainment
of the bigness of our efforts
confuses even hopes
we once possessed.
a precisely timed maneuver
matches all the counter-punches
to proclaim we really are
what we professed.
there is no truth in fairy tales,
or so the experts say,
those who choose to forget
dreams of lesser men,
but here and there
a child will see a cloudless sky
above him and sing of days
when love will love again.
