Transparency #1
Learned: so very much about the self – my own;
And still so far to go.
So many nuances I did not know
Which now I do.
Memory, what’s paid attention to,
What is, and then ignored.
The things we hold unto ourselves;
What things make us uproared.
Gobs and mountains, droves and swarms,
Stacks, heaps, slang: a shitload
Multitudes of problems
Involving and invoking deity and intellect
To solve, resolve by filling in synapses that disconnect
Or weaken soon or late.
You may name fate as culprit.
Call it karma’s cause/effect.
Whatever, there is much to learn
To earn the medal of detection.
And the cures for your defection.
Since the keynote thesis of this tune –
First violin to take the melody
Is actually: Transparency,
Albeit leitmotif, but high up in the register;
Transparency recurring theme song
In the long, long days belonging to our essences.

Transparency #2
Learned: so very much about the self – my own;
And still so far to go.
So many nuances not known –
Which few, I now do know.
Memory, what’s paid attention to,
What is, ignored,
The things we hold unto ourselves,
What things make us uproared.
Gobs of, mountains, droves and swarms,
Stacks, heaps, slang: a shitload
Multitude
Of problems
All involving and invoking
Deity and intellect
To solve, re-solve (by filling in)
Synapses that do disconnect
Or weaken soon or late:
Name it fate as culprit.
Call it karma’s cause/effect,
There is much to learn
To earn the medal of detection.
And the cures for its defection.
Since the keynote of this tune
Is actually ‘transparency’,
Its leitmotif transparency’s recurring strain,
As the refrain,
Take it, make it one of life’s blessed opportunities.
