(McClelland and Stewart)

WE ACCESS THE MIRACLE


Through ease
Is the hypothesis.
The task is to source from the quiet

Instruction
And from confusion
The instinct organized

As impulse and
Into my arms as extension.
I walk back to the hotel

With two limes and a watermelon.
Tonight:
Water and watermelon (From McClelland & Stewart)
