[poem:] Ray Hearne: Might Stay Fine

Didn’t it rain?
every kind of hard rain
didn’t it pour?
till it couldn’t spill more
didn’t it sile?
Brother Noah big style

but didn’t it shine
like a silver wine?

like a silver wine

and now it might stay fine
it might stay fine

it might stay fine
says the primer
for the part-time rhymer
spinning me another line
it might stay fine

Shock and awe showers
flattening the sunflowers
it got so dark
nearly to the black mark
sky-high glowers
falling on the kow towers

but didn’t something still shine
like a silver wine?

like a silver wine

now it might stay fine
it might stay fine

it might stay fine
says the primer
for the part-time rhymer
spinning me another line
it might stay fine



A see-through wall
river-full and all fall
down like cloaks
a Krakatoa wave broke
from a nightmare time
when I couldn’t see a thing rhyme

but didn’t love still shine
like a silver wine?

like a silver wine

and it might stay fine
it might stay fine

it might stay fine
says the primer
for the part-time rhymer
spinning me another line

it might stay fine

it might stay fine

it might stay fine
says the primer
for the part-time rhymer
spinning me another line

it might stay fine

it might stay fine
