there’s a hardness in your eye
i wish you would avoid
or i think you should turn from
but who am i to comment on what
might be needed or expedient
to get through a series of days
i’ve done it too walked down long halls
or on streets that i didn’t want to know
waiting hoping and saying it will change
and everything changes nothing is fixed
where we are now is evolving building up
or seeming to fall down and go but actually neither
we are like water in water mixing
or like breathless the stars that never shirk
they shoulder duty or pray freely both enthusiastically
