Letting Go Poem by Anne Tardos

It's the ego that lets go of the ego.
A leftist is usually right.
Everyone is really a very fine fellow.

I am an Acoustican.
I come from the planet Acoustica
Where we g'oham yeolnia ooh yeeanh
Some varsity sensibingatee zenifer lida
Shaka-ha-cha-ka!
Different papilla pamina different zugoria.

The standing the name the gesture
The movement
One cigale verisimilitude sentimentablement genial
Dissertation vegetation permission
A very fine fellow

The egg lets go of the egg and becomes a bird
The bird appeals to our sense of freedom
and makes a cat salivate mentally
Cats don't salivate
Dogs salivate
Therefore dogs don't salivate mentally but actually
Birds don't salivate
I doubt they even salivate mentally
The killer instinct brushes its teeth at night
It flosses between its thoughts
Thoughts that create sounds
Sounds that become words

And words get along well with each other
Can't hold on to anything
ever
anyway
Not to the bird or the stone in your hand you would never throw at a bird
And all of this is really happening.

The girl lets go of the girl and becomes an adult
After a while, she will let go of herself and become something else
It's difficult to understand what
But I know that all of this is really happening
And that everyone is a very fine fellow

You confirm and you build by repetition
You invent a device that will repeat for you as needed
You hand a stone to a child and watch her break into a smile
The stone will remain calm and composed inside the little fist

The stone dreams of the beach
and of sandhood
The edge of the water where the children play
A play is by definition amusing
A muse is by definition a scantily clad young female floating about

A penguin understands the meaning of life just as a seal ends it.

Shilly-shally winter death
Monkey colorectum
Embrionic bazaar fracas
comprehension overcast

Cendrier Baudrillard
Upscale venison
Vertical severance
Digital mismatch
Empanades truc machin-chose
I chose to be the dingo

A pecking order in Beijing
to be
to live
to do
to give
to die
A cat, a sweetheart, maybe a baby.
In this case, maybe a koala.

5
The eagle lets go of the eagle
Its need to control reality causes its insomnia
Fear creates what is feared

Conversation scuba diddle
Verification jumble zig
Pretty little short supply
Glitter kindness gender gap
Delicate gene pool

Frisbee mutation
Unexpected peppermint
Razzmatazz
Thought exists.
Rigid necessity.

The writer lets go of intention and considers the alternatives
She is thinking about writing about thinking

Her imagination goes for a walk, along with her intentions
Arm in arm, the two walk around the block to get some exercise
They stop at a feminist sex shop and admire the toys on display
Then they buy a big bag full of pine-bark mini-nuggets at a garden supply store

They pay peanuts for the pine-bark mini nuggets, which they pour over their respective beloveds' graves
The writer tends to view most men as her feather
A feather seems lighter than air
How do you air a grievance? Is that anything like rhubarb?

Rhubarbs are to be enjoyed in moderation because of their high oxalic acid content. Calcium oxalate has been associated with the formation of kidney-stones because the calcium combines with oxalate in the intestines and this reduces calcium's ability to be absorbed.

Kidneys and stones will brake my bones
But beans will never hurt me
