Before It Leaves You
When you feel empty,
Think of all the creativity around in the streets.
When your stomach begins to shout,
Think of all the short order cooks chopping yellow squash & parsley stems.
When you forgot to put in your contacts,
Look at the sun & think of a bum.
When your radio gains no reception,
Turn it off and watch the bird's dive about the sky.
When you can't sleep at night sing alone in the dark.
When the phone rings in he middle of a marvelous book,
Look further into the words and watch the black figures dance.
Take the life or lives that have loved you ..
Love them back.
Yea,
In the face of independence become dependent on the absolute before it leaves you.
