Beginnings

Suppose
I were to shut my eyes
filtering
the Pandora's Box
of distractions
in which we indulge
would I be more wise
Suppose
I were to plug my ears
so no sound
could begin to be
interpreted
could it ease my fears
And if
I were to hold my nose
allowing not one
noxious vapors
invasion
or sweet scent of rose
what could this remove
or what limits
might it impose
where do I begin
but to erase
all that has been
even for a short time
so that I might
see it new
again
