“The Peg” [Winnipeg]
When software items download in
Computers, gauged, once we begin
Gray lines show what’s in place to see,
But red line shows accurately –Just where we’re at, what all can see;
How we’ve progressed – maturity
Is on the red line not the gray;
That’s what was in “The Peg” today.There’s me and my shenanigans;
There’s resident – eye-work begins;
But he is male; two females ’round;
He knows in “male” success is found.There was referral – “six” I’d say –
Just starting out on medic’s way
If “net” is one, and “Doc” is ten,
At six I’m in the game – but then –She’s young and female – male was near;
She learned to override her fear,
But it was present – “He will win;
Already his success begins.”But you have assets he won’t have –
That chemical, like moonlit rave,
Wiped out those cells connecting brain’s
Two sides – intact your cells remain.Me? I recall that shift in time
Med-chemicals then came on line –
Relief, but plague – now opiates
Slosh ’round – it’s how Doc’s operate.And then there’s faith – just middle name?
Archaic way of life? A game?
“They come; they’re smart; but I’m ahead –
There’s more than in the books they’ve read.”Then in that mix the junior chick,
Promoted fast, too much, too quick;
And me? I watch, take in the scene
As novelist – ask, what’s this mean?The key? It’s silence, not to the notes –
The dashes, dots, not words I wrote;
They hear the melody, not space;
From spaces they can meaning take –Morse code, and drum beats – rests and signs;
Notes make the space, give place to time;
If you can’t hear the silence, guys,
You’ll just be smart, not very wise.Thanks Lord for this.
