It is Enough To...

*send me a note if it is ok to put up your name
i saw an advertisement
for a movie
i did not watch
where it was possible to fall up
everyone wants to fall
so they can fly...
i watched
for hours
people selling on tv
extolling the benefits of things
when all they really needed
was to be naked...
i heard a song
about a bird
finally free
from the chains
of the skyway
i wonder where it went...
i turned on the radio
of talk shows
and listened to them complain
about each other
i know they sit at home
worrying about what is being said...
i read a book
full of wisdom
where the first were last
and the last were first
everyone loses at some point
when you are keeping score...
i burned the story
of my life
my flesh for kindling
just for fun
to see how it would feal
and it felt great...
i have eaten feasts
that i could describe for years
without a cent to my name
in the end
the best things are given freely
by the ones we love...
i have starved
on a full stomach
with pockets full of cash
surrounded by people
and wondering
what i gained for all my labor...
i have sung
my greatest songs
without uttering
a single syllable
many heard
and supported me...
i have lost my voice
while talking
ceaselessly
to anyone
who would listen
and none did...
...what does it all mean...
...i do not care...
...it is enough to...
so i ask of you
what life
can be lived
when walking backwards...
so i ask of you
what living
is in life
when stuck in the moment...
...so what comes next...
...quite a bit actually...
...that's all that matters...
...keep on singing...
