POETRY

i stepped on the curb into a sprint

what is most meaningful in this busyness of life?

i stepped on the curb into a sprint —
a race against the cyclotrons;
the métiers re-reinvent.
(one blink…we’re all iguanodons)

but the busiest art to rollercoasting
is more a mosaical discipline:
to distinguish successful life-composing
from that of chasing after wind.
