I

want to

wrap up some

old business but it

keeps unraveling when I try

to tie the knot tight

so old business becomes new

the harness good and

the blade sharp--

forward I

cut

*

I am so rarely good

but never as bad as I think I am

except when I try to draw

some lesson from it--

*

so this is how it all comes out--

forget all the weatherman interpreters

of bibles and korans

and mayan myths--

these books aren't prophecy

they're accurate depictions

of life in the earth AS IS

easy then to say 'so this is how

it all comes out'

the struggles

aren't evil

they are just the processes

of the world as fashioned

and each of us alone must find the way out--

do not think too hard about it

'he who would save his life will lose it'

give it away

if you would know

such increase as

enlightenment--
