if & else [experi-ghazal]
In a fit of non-alcoholic drunkenness yesterday,
I described the smile as the “else” of all “ifs” in the
crazy code of life.
--Inkspill
Let's say the smile seemed the else of all ifs
but who'd beguile so many elses from the ifs?
if every else displays a welcome change of scene --
yet what's the style of your else? (forget the ifs)
now a pulchritude of else were in the air! yet
single-file crawled my elses through their ifs
we'd been otherwise engaged for far too long!
hey let's compile the sacred elses with no ifs!
all my ifs proved mere conjecture when your else bloomed
down the Nile of your else flow festive ifs
yes Ardeo has packed his ands with all their buts!
he walks a mile wearing else-shoes toting ifs
