SUNDAY PRAYER, cxxxii
time & time again
would you know your wit's end
if you were there, at a table
a roasted pig, if you were the apple
i wonder, what is wisdom?
is it taking it as it comes?
or is it avoiding it altogether?
over the rainbows, under the weather
i am, i am
time & time again
the things you know won't slow down bullets
or the poison in your heart
the whizzing world is not an artform
you can memorize or master
someone is always running faster
someone smarter, a better lay perhaps
today, happiness feels very
far away
but you're a birthday
deep with the dayshine
from dusk to moonbreak
the dust of keepsakes
time & time again, i am i am
