Poem 0151: birthday 6 (presents)

Somewhere in between traditional and avant garde,
There is the sort of gift that anyone might like to receive.
You can’t find it by magic, nor by calculation.

There was a time, when no thought was required for
Gift-giving. There were only a few choices and for certain
Occasions, there were none.

Now, it seems that the sky’s the limit. But I don’t recommend
Going all the way to the sky. (That would mean that there’s
Nowhere left to go — A hard act to follow.)

Instead, with imagination and intuition flung wide open,
Close your eyes and reach out to comfortably embrace this
Present you will soon present.
