Just this year
one man is patron
for another’s art
you thought patronage a thousand years dead
they found each other without seeking
when one told the other
his soul’s story
:- Doug.
It’s not your beliefs
that make the world so
rather out of them your constructs
:- Doug.
There is more going on
in a conversation than meets
casual observation
even in chit-chat
we are making confirming
seeking confirmation of
our world
:- Doug.
What you share receives strength
what you hold starves
it has only one provider
:- Doug.
What we see of the world
is part world and part what we call it
and neither alone
then we have a conversation
it changes and reconstructs all that
conversations don’t change the world
we construct our world out of conversations
:- Doug.
A person is a poem through
all the days of prose

Towards you
You must work
To get them to listen
Then to get them to hear

There is a mystic life
Within the daily round
We can live this ground
