bALANCE

in the retirement farm,where elders in wheelchairs
were parked in front of huge screens providing their only color and movement
we came in as fools,clown,poets
(my tomatoes are poets-they do not know they are green and out of season'
a few have ripened to nourishment-the rest wither on the vine)
it is still raining in England/while our heat makes autumn tired
(seasons have been suspended due to literary criticism
Solomon divided babies on the basis of punctuation
The most important thing is to be aware of the most important thing
My sister tells me my mother will soon be 80
while we will always be younger,the cliff edge of time cuts closer
like a laser extricating skin cancers/we stay indoors
balancing Light and Dark,Court and Spark,
Age and Youth,Knowledge and Innocence
Now they sell a health bar called BALANCE
I bought it once.But it did not work..
