Are we asleep to our lives
right now
or
are we awake
when we give or
take a Feldenkrais class
or a yoga class
are we awake
going into the class,
during the class,
and especially,
this is the hard
one,
after
or do
we open our mouths
start to talk
and go
back
to sleep?
so nine eleven:
how can people
do awful things to
other people:
only by being asleep.
and the retaliation,
the war on
whatever
the excuse for Iraqification
what's that all about?
being asleep
and so
what are the real weapons
of mass destruction?
hatred
and
revenge,
our poor little
wanting to love
hearts,
that in their hurt,
don't want to admit their
hurt,
or fear,
or confusion,
and find it a
"comfort"
to lash
out
(if there can be comfort
in living in hell,
which
there can't)
so what can we do:
wake up
forgive
love
ah,
it's that easy
eh.
well:
what's the alternative,
stay asleep
and march off the cliff,
angry
unforgiving
asleep
human leemings
human
being
or
human
leeming
a fine choice
and so obvious
until someone gets our goat,
or we get a parking ticket,
or our "rival" gets a step or two
ahead
la, la
what to learn
today????
