Analysis of Ascending
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
Merging
your smooth
and my rough spots
purging ourselves
of our haves and
have nots
transcending
in our tendencies
to amend or even
disregard... the rules
to blend the best
of our abilities
to reinforce our strengths
at least heighten our resistance
to reduce the possibility
or extent
to suffer unnecessary
abuse
to bridge our weaknesses
in the quest to find our truth
and mend our loose ends
