And the Other
In the end, there's only one.
And the other.
I have never seen anything that
Deserved to starve.
No child, no animal.
No tyrant was born evil.
Let's dance,
I say, though
None of us really can.
So we try, we try laughing,
And the walls, the ceilling, and by God
The
floor
laughs with us,
As we fool around like
Tiny Godzillas kicking down
Tinier skyscrapers, holding hands;
Dipping and twirling like the
Innocent idiots we are.
Playing. Like a god would create
Another to play with, and they
Dance worlds into -and out of-
Existence. Not a single bacterium in
This room understands. So let it keep
Not understanding, and as we tire from
Moving and settle down together,
The rain has stopped doing its
Thing, and I point without pointing;
Say without a word:
*Look at that drop, hanging from the
Twig at the end of the branch of that
Willow. And the other. That's me. And
Me. Look until you can look no
Longer. I saved them both for your
Eyes.
