Improv/Imitation 2, Week 15

From "Little Epiphanies" by Allison Joseph

"The difference between what's required
and what's desired is the difference
between" fall and spring, the cold and
the colder, depending on which you think
is which. I do not pretend to hold a
distinction for you, wishing for release
for your bragging and clanking of keys
all musical, technical, and mobile.
On the far side of the shore of Cabo,
there is a cabin in which I think you
should stay for at least two or three
weeks, thinking on which glasses clink
and which glasses read. Is a difference
there, anyway? Or are they the same
in the first and last place to begin with,
or end with, you might say. I want you to
figure out which orb rises and which falls
at which time of day and which season is
which, but only for you. Do not express
philosophical movements to the contrary
and attempt to define these patterns for
the world. You can only do so for you.
