Rules of Retention
Knot the not with knowing reason,
solve the sum of some in parts.
Just as season follows season,
after bleeding healing starts.
New strange you’s are calling upward,
to sing song of purer sound.
The old what was got no reward,
ancient ways need look around.
Walk the walk of others walking,
stop and listen to the talk.
Truth such slippery undertaking,
never fits outline of chalk.
