This is a phrase, a quote i wrote in 1977, the year my daughter, Karey, was born. Her father was a pilot of sorts, having been a Vietnam era veteran, served as an air traffic controller. From his books I learned that the attitude of the plane determines how high it is to fly. So i wrote this:
Your attitude determines your altitude.

nefariously
scrambling , wandering
sorting, biting
something devouring complacency
(what is it i hear from the treetops)
Oh! The word that pushed my buttons
sadly; again, again, again
she cried for joy
once again
the only
answer:
Bittersweet!

just as you come
topsy-turvey into my life
i realized
there are no envelopes
for exchanging
moments
that can only happen once
why do we struggle so
how do we struggle so!
for the joy that comes only
as a butterfly
resting on your shoulders

it happened
in an instant
the moment closing in
to be
forever
fraction’s eloquence
calming
an instant
extending forever
as real as a
number three, or four, or
five
or even one or two
it is there
existing not in space and time
daresay as you or I
everpresent
ever ominescently
real

Lonely stranger:
Don’t tell me you cannot see
the icy breath of alienation
the visions of people
walking in a circle
over and over
not talking
not touching
wanton, restless spirits
of crying
joined by loss
loss of humanity
loss of sanity
cold, stone cold
those people-
visions of someone else’s hate
who quietly faced me
shut the window
and left.

You have only what you give away or are 100% willing to.
