To be,
or not ‘not’ to be;
that is no question;
it is merely the saying
of the same thing…
in differing ways.
To not be,
or not to ‘not’ be;
is just confusing,
and aren’t we
already confused enough?
That is a question –
although it may,
or may not, be
a rhetorical one.
to be or not …
to be
just do, and get done
‘cos actions speak louder
and the satisfaction of seeing it done
is …
to be
To do or not to do? G:)
to do, then to be
do first, be next
to do is to achieve
to be is to feel
So much being and doing
makes a poet tire;
and when a dove keeps cooing
perhaps his tail is on fire.
G:)
and perhaps the me is be the not poet? Can you tell … of course, the ‘be’ of the ‘to be’ is the poet asking the existential question, and the one who answers is the one who does not, can not, will not expose the need simply ‘to be’
…
or something equally obstreperous (I’ll behave next time, I promise — fingers crossed behind my back).
No, it’s not meant to make sense. It is Monday, is it not? Oh … oh, dear me. I think I picked up the wrong hat from the props dept. I may be a cat after all.
The bee is to me
as I am to him
or she;
thus, you see,
it is easier to leave
than to leave be.

Well said, sir. I bid thee, bee to be
Missing your words … where you be, wordsmither?
I am having a quiet time at the moment, Cage. Had a few ideas for my play, and some song ideas, but nothing that lends itself to here. It feels a bit weird, but I don’t like to force the poems as they seem to dislike that.
I shall be back before I know it.
Take cares, and thank ypu for missing my words. G:)
Good writing, I cheer, and understand the need to be with the words that hide in places difficult to reach, or even to see. One must persist, for the words are the world, the history, the future, the gift of the now.
“Huzzah!” G:)
So I posted the nonsense that I wrote yesterday. G:)
