oracle...




I consulted the nothing
that is my everything
and a Catbird on the wire
just outside my window
who reminds me of just
what a human is supposed
to move and sound like
that bird who rings in the daylight
so fantastic--bobbling in the wind
over and over again resounding:
"You are here, you are here,
you are most indubitably,
undoubtedly and certainly here,
and so why in this world filled
with the rampant music of all
you have forgotten on your way to
remembering, aren't you dancing,
you mobile and reflexive, tenacious,
and reflective, wind-filled human being..."
