come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
like an amoeba staring at a bird,
like a dog running after a car,
I chase after a beaten path.
yes, I know I am ashamed
and part of my drive to ignore this shame
moves me when I am the most tired.
a sun shined once, very briefly.
and I learned in that priceless moment
that you must choose to live for yourself.
and the rest of the world will follow.

even before the fractional moment
I absent-mindedly close my eyes
new frame of paradigm slips into mind
like a long shadow of a late summer afternoon
like a slip of paper slid under the door
sequence of mind frame evolution takes place
slowly revealing of what a mind can do
when a call is heard for a moment of serendipity.
