Some Thoughts on a Morning Walk

Now that I've lived in my body

for hundreds of years,

                                         now

that I know the cycle of my personalities,

                               now

that I know the journey from my spine to foot,

and traverse it regularly,

relieved by regularities,

and pestered by the places of pain and imperfection,

Now that I know

unequivocally that

No

One

Wins,

                            and no one loses,

and

that you, on your morning jog,

and I, walking my head to clarity,

that we, working repetitively

just to be here now,

well,

now

what is there to do but be grateful 

that the earth too works repetitively

to make our nows

Eden, if we let them be.
