towards better, safer
times. We were waving oh
goodbye good luck to all
our many selves leaning
around the little quick
rectangular windows
like some kind of beatnik
flowers having our hair
busily brushed flat by the
brusky old winds. Don't fall
out! Oh do be careful! Oh I
do hope they can make it. How
can they possibly miss
us so completely and
still be wanting for us
at home? If we believe
you can pull the whole world
up to your chin quite far
enough to finally
see their journey as one
belonging to all woods.
I'm guessing that shouldn't
be so difficult to
understand.It is all
about the water, or
the light in the water.
Write it in your heart.
Something's always pouring
into something else by
mistake or by design.

Off the rails or just off on its way? There's always a train. It's always stopping or starting, letting us off, or gathering us up for the ride. The destination is never the destination. It's the fact that we are in motion, that our motion is in motion, that we are dancing with something much bigger than ourselves..at long last.
Good poem, DP. The piece works.
The last line is very provocative. Very good.
Nice poem, Darryl. I have to agree with Steven about that last sentence.
Sam,Steven and John--thank you all so very much!
