between the wish and the thing the world lies waiting.


(Mountains and spikes
crystals and corners
a table and a piece of counting tape
boats and bathtubs
letters and diamonds
a box and an ice cube
cookies and holes
a barette and a pin
a stop sign and a clock)----from a wall in a park....

Me this week, in a moment:
Listening to beautiful music,
reading a really good book
meeting new friends and
new families with really adorable and sweet children
writing new music
watching daffodils and tulips sprout up all over the city and the people
do too, riding and running and walking about in their corridors
and i am in some small way a part of it and i am in some way
very lucky and mystified and humbled because i really don't know
much else other than what is in front of me,
and, recently,
it is goodness.

  1. What little chance
    we have to touch
    a heart or mind
    or half as much.

    And when it comes
    This moment of ours,
    We run and hide
    Or take cold showers.
