Oh, I’ll let you be
perfectly clear:
when the paramedics
fit the paddles to your chest
and yell, “Clear!”
when the Scientologists
check your wallet
and yell, “Clear!”
when the doctor shines the light
into your ear
to see if the brain
blocks the view
to the other side
and yells, “Clear!”
Even the skies are clear
sometimes
and sometimes even water.
I wish I could say the same
about the vision
of the future
for now
unclear.
