Nothing You Do Not Want

Nothing You Do Not Want

Nothing you do not want to stand still

 Will not spin incandescently descending down the hill

 Forgetting to adjust for wind and rocks in the ground

Remembering to want and need and desire

How can I forget truth and justice

When every day I see the need for both

Every time I turn a corner or drive a straightaway

Every time I inhale fresh or stale

Every time I exhale the breath I borrowed from

Every instance of ignoble existence

Every slight of ignorance and random acts

Despite the lack of everyday perfection

I wallow in heaven amongst the daily suffering of saints

I laugh at the absurd ditties and dance to the low-end bass

I stare into the starlit streams looking for answers

I listen to waves of crickets cricketing

A thousand times a thousand

Questioning and answering

Communicating age old wisdoms

Communing together through sound

Uncomplicated ideas extricated from the air

Never before indicated to be

Never flowing against gravity or levity

I see blankets of butterflies

Knuckleballing through the heavy air

Transcending above the earth and through the forest

Sending a message sent to me

I am meant to remember

Nothing you do not want to stand still

 Will not spin incandescently descending down the hill

 Forgetting to adjust for wind and rocks in the ground

Remembering to want and need and desire
