Chesterton and The Fatal Metaphor

[dizzyjaney]

He takes some time to tie his shoes
fumbles maybe once or twice
then out the door he goes
Looking forward, looking out.
In this land of progress
the mantra’s clear and loud
All is well that feels well

In my space, it is well (you know, as well)
I take the time to sit as still
that on forehead, shoulder
open palms - what flutters may alight.
In this land of progress
the mantra’s clear and sound
All is well that is, is all..
even in a flooded house
