My Mind Takes Place

Billie Holiday was on the radio.

And I was having a hard time

making my mind take place.

You know, I have my reasons

for the ongoing participation

in this experiential sequence.

Especially, since some (so called)

time has passed.

Nothing is more permanent 

than the temporary.

Like eating bread and 

making no crumbs.

Or, when death will part

us from these kids.

See the bud, it stands

for all things,

even things that don't flower.

Sometimes it's necessary

to re-teach a thing 

It's loveliness.
