trying to figure out how this applies

You said one thing as a way of not saying something else. 

You wrote something so that other things wouldn’t be written. 

You drew me a picture of one thing and not anything else. 

I’m trying to figure out how this applies to what you’ve gone 

And done in case, by doing so, a solution to the problem we’ve been 

Having no success solving makes itself evident. For the sake of 

Argument, let’s say I’m a crime and you’re a clue and someone 

Else, we don’t know who, is the detective. We’re on the Wind 

River and it’s twilight and you have on your windbreaker of many 

Pockets and I have on my boots in which I hide whatever needs 

To be hidden. To be perfectly accurate you are barefoot and I 

Have nothing to hide at the moment. Wild geese. Two butterflies 

Of black and blue geometry. A coal train. Skid marks on the 

Curve in the road that will point us slowly into a nearby cave.
