THE NEW NOW
Love Love #3, 2020
The new now is taking notes
to begin a new narrative.
The new now is more than
the same old shit, imperceptibly different.
It’s an everywhere of everything
where everyone is sacred, where each living thing is a saint.
The gift is to die dreaming.
Shouldn’t we all get to die dreaming?
I come awake to the history of the world
as being only about what’s going on right now.
The past, the future, so much of that depends
on the snake, the swan, the maiden, the moon.
I’m in no hurry to find out
where Holden’s ducks or where Bob’s roads go.
Welcome the new blood.
It has new life in it.
I have a feeling about you and me:
we’re building cathedrals we can marvel at.
We need each other.
It doesn’t get any simpler than that.
