Why don't you pretend you are everything
and then look into a mirror
then we'll talk.
there is always someone dancing with you somewhere
7 billion people here,

rocking it in our humble spot on an arm of god
dancing around the eye of the storm
in our own little veil
on the fabric of the field of play
in a hallway of mirrors
and in the movement of the line of you that goes forever
music plays at the speed of light
so fast you can barely see it move through you
as it is one song of every song
we are skipping stones spinning around skipping stones
with the ripples coloring our minds.

Love the purple morning light,
               that spills happiness around us,
when night pitches its black tent,
               it's happy time to rest-
and recuperate; birth and death
             are the entrance and exit-
on the stage of life, even if one doesn't
                  like to retreat to the backstage, passing death's door,
it's mandatory, learn to live,
                 with these truths, a part of the stagecraft.
Travelers we are,  through repeated cycles of lives,
          we buy and sell, happiness and grief,
                 barter wisdom for pain, once in a while
      and get richer beyond expectation.
At the end of the transactions,
            purity of our karmas decides-
whether one gained or lost,
                only by helping others bear their burden, one gains.

Her funky , modish,  lingerie on a clothesline hung to dry,
doesn't bring to mind any wild imagery,
he just sees that: an undergarment
decency wouldn't permit to make an exhibit like this,
"My God!" he realizes with a shock"The midlife crisis has already started"
