our shoes

[the mingo]

well it's like this there is only so much fuel in the bottle, get it?
then what ya gonna do with your ladybug timer and your old paneled walls?
i don't like artificial coolness myself but real cold
is unforgiving in its surroundedness
& begins relentless very much to creep inside.
illusion is not fact
any granddaughter knows that much
so what if she looks at you in a new language where construction
is not a matter of putting together
but of seeing
as the basis of any language is image
for words are doors & every moment the land
is just born to a tumbled body
and there is no need to jump off a bridge to find
in the rushing waters below just how much
we want to live
we can discover that
without even taking off our shoes

[Arcadia]

I imagine this poem said by someone in the urge of making a molotov and at the same time give an explanation... great tone you created here, mingo...!!!!!!!
