slippery light

Slippery light, your intelligence. 
Deadly serious getting someplace 
in direct shine and reflect, absorb 

Laughing like bells at yourself 
at every disgraceful wrong turn, 
mistake and gaffe where you see 

you've arrived. You have to laugh 

Mine is huge boulders in slow, 
dense turns. Crushing by increment 
all things to a sparkly dust so cutting 
fine, which I whip up to shapes in
hard strobe light and weaponize 

it's ridiculous 

A sense of humor about one's mind 
can be done or found any number of ways, 
and it seems to be an essential thing 
if we're ever to keep or find our way 

in this maze.
