How Do You Continue?
Having lost faith in how you do things,
how do you continue to do them?
I like recognition;
I love recall.
Our lives are not a line but a sphere,
in some undetectable dimension.
Never mind what others value.
What seems good to you?
It is exactly backwards:
we should live more times than we love.
The key, they say, is to see yourself
not in there but out here.
Always, the temptation
to till myself.
