big believer

I'm a big believer in blowing your nose
in UFOs
when you can't identify what just flew by,
what does that let you know?
I'm a big believer in hunkering down
when the time has come to remove your clothes,
burn yourself brown,
scrub yourself down,
or to close the show and get out of town,
I'm a big believer in letting the curtains close
before letting the water flow too full blast
before taking too deep a bow,
especially when any audience
has long since last scene been filing out,
in a standing and ambulatory ovation,
now - maybe
ask yourself: is there far too much
in this world to believe in?
and pick one thing
where you can't say just how
or why it works for you. Take that,
and let it be your gut feeling. Tell me:
"I don't know. It just feels
right. True," and we then
will share a healing smile, and
nod, and knowingly, full well
will we sleep together
in the fullness of time,
in this blessed guiltless guileless
blameless and inexplicably pillowless
restless dreamless sleep, so typical and deep
of we big believers
