go on, tell them that did not know you when,
stories of what you did.
relish the disbelief in their eyes. know
you walk with 100 billion foundation myths.
yes. sometimes the way is pain.
trust what hurts. faith in muscle and bone is the lie.
know this knowing this is how you will kill the body and live.

from DRIFTWOOD: a piece (waiting)
This is not a waiting culture. From every corner, prognosticators, practioners, preachers and gurus scream against it. Waiting is the antithesis of Now. Now is what we were raised sharpening our teeth on. Now is the feast we remember from childhood. Waiting is for the weak, they say. The early bird gets the fatter worm and the runt never gets the teat.
But I have given up the early worm. Given up the feast of Now. Here in the Present Now is all about waiting.
I am learning to wait.
