To measure a day by a meaning
lean crystals sift into your lap
the varieties of greens exhaust
vocabulary
no need to describe what everyone
remembers
the whole street a secret garden a
hidden sign
even a name knows how to hold your
hand
wise fingers apportion peace and war
but have I forgiven all those I hurt
shutters up on the primeval coast
we help each other wade ashore
and nothing more
the gift just happens the sun just rose.

Do it the easy way begin with someone
else
we dance in trance a rhetoric of
selfishness
all we have to give our bodies are
we choose our functions in a balanced
world
whatever it is it always works
that’s the mind for you
no escape from the balanced aquarium
we live and die as suits another and
we are that other
so relax and try to cheat less on
your taxes
it doesn’t work it all comes out of
you
can’t save can’t spend can’t mar
can’t mend
free will is an advertising
ploy.
