Nuts

I like that Julian meditated on the hazelnut.  It helps in days like these, when I wait for something to happen.  It helps on days like these, when I wait.

It*s hard to explain,

A conundrum,

So I*ll leave it lay

For now.

This

Is a hard nut to crack,

A pistachio

With no easy way

In.

Still I know

It is green in the middle.

Simply for just now

I will let it be

What it already is.

In time I may find

The potential.

Perhaps it is a hazelnut

Hard

Round

Brown

I shall call it filbert

Maybe Fil for short.

I will hold it in my hand,

Roll it between my fingers

Know there is some kind

Of a future there,

Hard to explain,

A conundrum.

Handful of nuts

I am taking my fish oil every day.  I am figuring out the handful of nuts on occasion.  I can still rationalize with the best of them.

I watch my cholesterol. 

I will see where fish oil gets me

In four months.

The powers that be

Recommend a handful of nuts

On occasion.

I look at my hands,

Then at my watch.

I consider if my hands

Were bigger

Or smaller,

My watch faster or slower.

After all

What does occasional mean?

Occasionally the nuts

Call out to me

From the cupboard.

Occasionally

They don*t.

Sometimes my hands hold more

Than others.
