I am a thing
In Chemistry Class,A Sequel
:
I am a thing
not a patient
as soon as I became a patient
to be a thing.
Kicked around In the wind
Like a a spit
In the air
I am a patient
I am a thing
I am a string to play with
Like in a puppet show
Death is my destiny
Though I do not believe in destiny
I do not believe
in death either
And Time and Space
never the same time
and never the same space
I am a thing
I am a patient.
Enjoyed reading it. And my reply:
ReplyDeleteAre You Content?
for Windermere
Here’s the question, Are you content?
One wants to turn the clock back to 50
the other to 23, but you say
I’m okay with where I am.
To go through the travail once more
to repeat the experience
lest one doesn’t carry the lessons learned.
In the field, the granddaughter hits the ball
fearlessly dribbles, passes the defendant
and kicks it into the net
smiling, she’s thrilled with the goal.
The boy folds the paper 75 times
he moves his fingers like a pianist
a building shapes up, rises from his palm
he’s pleased with the effort.
I have come a long way to see your face
to see beneath the waves
to walk under the full moon
to breathe the morning breeze.
I'm content with where I am.

You are a "thing" ....you are a "patient"... and a good poet/ physician/ a literary critic ....and a wonderful human being.
