Arlene Corwin Poetry

                 Creation: Synchronicity

I write, refine. Leave it alone.

Days, months, years, sometimes

Stumbling on,

Stumbling upon –

Pick up, pick out a book, a line –

I take it all as synchronicity:

A favored thesis –

Basis life:

Matched frequencies.

It pulls together,

Gives a meaning,

Makes one up.

It’s peace related.

Write, refine, I in the center,

Creativity is I

And probably.

Or ought to be

Us all

In synchronicity.

              Prolificacy

In town, on hill, people

Long for the essential,

[which] essential has been voiced in every

Manner, fashion,

Custom, style,

Method, practice,

Form and mode.

Genius is our template.

His urge is urgency,

And being man,

Part discipline, part vanity,

Part pleasure –

Pressure from the head to pen,

From what-, whenever.

Your part – you the reader –

Is to keep producing,

Watch the changes,

Don’t direct –

Changes come out of themselves.

Let them flow. Let them go.

If I should do a reckoning

(and I just may one day)

I’d say that “flow’s ” a word

I’ve used in verse

A thousand days,

A thousand ways.

(I may just look it up tomorrow*).

Dams and walls each second day,

All I’ve picked up on

Is to keep on going.

Funny idiom ‘keep on’.

I just may look it up and follow up

The ‘flow’.

                Lazy

I’m lazy.

What I’m saying is:

It’s easier

To sit than stand,

Stand than

Walk,

Talk through paper than

Land

Face to face

Expending energy through sound.

(don’t telephone or visit neighbors –

usually or often.)

In my seat,

Sometimes an armchair,

Sometimes stool of upright wood.

If I could,

I’d do nothing but

Wait, think and write.

The only voice I choose to use

Is song.

And that’s an effort –

(But the pick is yogic)

Other than the song selection,

Song expression,

Song election,

I’m the laziest in town.
