Fay and Listless

Up the ladder
Down the ladder
Fay and steeped in
Conflicting content
Mindless minutes
Ticking to glory
foggy notions
rise unwary.
I'm unplugged now
Off the ladder
Chasing butterflies
In the park
Creating some mind space
Some much needed emptiness
For grace to enter
offer solace.

I like you
Toothless baby
I like your  trusting smile
What do you think, huh?
Bogged down big people
We lack style.

Give me a beat baby
I want to sing with you
your sweet gibberish
Is what appeals
Heart melting it
Is,
And time to time
It's all I need.
