Begin right now,

Begin right now, in the middle
of an already well-begun, lovely
woven tapestry, to engage with
and enter into the narrative as
a creator and owner, take full
responsibility starting logically
with the most solid foundations
of science and history you can
manage to unearth - dig mightily

all through the neighborhood’s eerily
dogless yards and naturally, proceed

from there to how you feel. Because
you’ve done the hard work. You can
trust how you feel now. Pretty good,
right?

Honest work, skulking like a thief in
broad daylight to open up foot-deep
portals to nowhere in the rich, dark
loam your neighborhood is famous for,
regionally. Out in a sweat under the sun

like that, you feel new appreciation
of the very air. Trust it. No

Trust your mind
