while we are still here

there is a world shortage-
of time,and i take this personally
people want me to add punctuation to my life sentence
(i may not have time to edit experience-
much less to polish rocks for crystal competitions)
i eschew forgetfulness(it makes for repetition(repetition
This diamond life seems made of flying carpets woven
from random fragments of dreaming material
characters as metaphors,morals as drawn
by those who value lines over content
We may be significant-all in context
Dinosaurs had their age ,too
now bones in museums for which we pay entrance
Those lines you remember most-the ones that last
there is no guarantee of posthumous posterity/just this
Hold it like a child.Ask it to serve.If it reveals Light
plug it in!May this moment beam stronger than before
Aware of all connections between and among
so we may never have to trust to silence to confirm
our presence-random,positive,passing,gone...
