sometimes laughter
sometimes
you can look at the leaves
taking sunshine clouds rain
the necessary decay
producing sugar from destruction
falling
and in falling they are equally essential
come on...
what is it your missing
time?
you're thinking too far ahead
too far behind
racking up too many expectations
forget about your concepts
breathe
look at that man
there
look he's walking
simple
where do you think he is going
it could be a cafe
his cafe
the one he always goes to
with the same waitress
everyday
black apron crooked smile nice body
always pint glasses for beer and water
and for coffee white porcelain mugs
but it doesn't matter really
for if this is the case
he's going nowhere
he is traveling only as far as his vision
but maybe he is going nowhere
happens upon
a cafe
occupying the same space
as the cafe he visited yesterday and the day before
he sits
and a woman comes to him
smiles
brings him a pint glass with water
coffee and a bowl of sugar
he looks up smiles seeing brown eyes
large animal eyes like those from his childhood
he has a sense of familiarity
though he can't put his finger on it
now this man is sitting in reality
he will not have to ask why
he will be there
events will happen
sometimes smiles
sometimes laughter
sometimes wailing
but surely he will be breathing
