Not From Around Now (Poetry for a Small Choir)
\
i was invited to a carnival
but they forgot to tell me
where
it would take place
they forgot to tell me
when
it would start
so of all places
ive chosen here
of all times
ive chosen now

the caretaker of five realities
step out of one to steps into anothers
he forgetting what when
how he distinguish betweens five
he may lost his track
longs ago
he fix ups one
breaks anothers
he fix ups anothers
breaks one
and he don't really know
it nots the same once agains
he is sads
he bad caretaker
a failures
a losers
insteads of five he gots less than one
all disjointeds
all sads
all elusives
you know me
you know me well
the face on a dollar bill is mine
not yours
not someone elses
the face on a dollar bill is mine
you know me well
just hold my hand |
from wherever you are |
|

i licked your rainbow for a while |
i took your shadow for a ride |
the Gardener of Else
is preparing a feast for his rival
The Voiceless Adept of Other
who measures success in elapsed time
and mixed meanings
(his palace is not maid of air
but of vacuum)
when the feast begins
all sounds are transparent
like palms of amputated hands;
all information has been brought to zero -
let's start again!
when the feast is over
all clocks in the world strike two
twice in a row
but not so we could hear
when the guests are gone
all items in the world trade places
with themselves
when you lose control |
