Not In Praise Of Ambiguity

to say and not to say some think of as an art

but I can't feel that way

either you express clearly and with an unalterable heart

or you seem to be shuffling cards and in love with your

ability to make things hard, clear yet unclear, even ironic

possibly, negligent.

who wants to hear such music, I would rather listen to clouds

noiseless in the wind they drift but they can 

never pretend because they depend on the wind on the God

that made them so and I know that I know that I know

it isn't art it's heartlessness to make people suffer by always leaving them

in uncertainty, in the dark or with the shades half drawn

and lost in the dark blue folds of the day.
