Now Begins

• Now begins the word enigmatic
• facing the question the open window
• you aren’t even standing there
• not to mention the first apartment you never moved into
• nor the first time you didn’t meet whoever you didn’t meet
• absence being not knowing anymore what you miss or want
• asking the perpetual explanation missing or wanting
• wondering how to compare what has already been forgotten
• makes you want to take a long walk on a short pier
• sparing yourelf the controversy whatever happens next or doesn’t
• the day will come the uselessness of knocking on any door
• even the bookmark called futility will have taken a back seat
• while you go elsewhere looking for answers though having no questions
• we must weather the storms cultivate paying the price
• remember the Zen monk who told you that you knew how to take the second step
• without having learned how to take the first step
• go back and look again the wind blowing up the canyon
• one form of indifference casting shadows on the wall
• the price of yesterday for each of us
• a matter of experience the unforseeable future
• the universe pretending there’s fact and fiction
• while we want to find the best place in town to go out dancing
