'This time we almost made
the pieces fit, didn't we?
This time we almost made
some sense of it, didn't we? '
A l m o s t
A good law
that got overturned
Almost a connection
that was short circuited
Almost a deal
put off by small print
and intention
Almost understanding
that got trampled
in interpretation
Almost there
but shot down
by one who wasn't
even close
Almost heaven
right here on
an imperfect earth
as rhyme and reason
reach out and touch
almost.
1980
