BUTTON PUSHING
 
 

any action/word/thought not born of love/respect

is only same button/different face

psyched enough one learns to psyche

o i knew a

great love once

motivated a 4,000 mile drive

to give love and respect

an artist/poet

liquid heart supporting

tripping thru tulips or towers

buttons buttons everywhere

pushed just right

lose their potency
