(for Judy Collins, singing Joni Mitchell's "Clouds')
to those who suffer from unwritten rules
from made up this instant just add water regulations
because they do not like your face and question
your regeneration think of clouds, mounds of them
ice cream sung and wished for like the song
think of knights in golden mail chivalry when
it wasn't frail think of roses climbing;
you climb, too.
out of the ditch they made for you
wandering off in the conversation
thinking you had left your station.
