You Should
You should
walk into the desert and
find the nearest turtle
listen to his heartbeat
taste his patience
You should wear
pants
and sunscreen
and carry a pennywhistle
You should
smoke peyote and
make angels in the sand
learn the rhythm of the Earth
and carry an umbrella
a yellow one
just in case
You should
dream in Spanish and
sing the ravens from
the mountains
tattoo your name on
a cactus
with a broken bone
and dance
in case you make it
rain
Just in case …

Today was one of those
freak accidents
waiting to happen
You know the kind
the dreams where somebody gets
run over by a car and
you see it, or
you’re in it, or
you’re it …
I know that strange yellow sky
a portent of odd things
sad dreams
and storms on the way
Don’t say you don’t know what
I mean
You dreamed it, too
felt the wind
bled like I did
and we’ll lie about it
but not to each other …

It's about time & art - we never get enough of either :) I can't control one, the other- well, who wants to control it? It should be wild and free. YOU decide if it's time or art . . . :)
