Swaying grass in wind teaches me to dance in one spot. It makes the hillside waltz but really not. It just seems that way. Rise and fall of waves teaches me to dance in one spot. It makes the ocean tango but really not. It just seems that way. Alone, I sit glued to one spot, cornered in this old folks’ home. He’s long past it, so they say. He dribbles in his chair. He wheezes in his air. His mind’s not very clear. His bank account is bare. Mostly he can’t hear. He won’t see out the year. His end must soon be near. There’s a bloody waiting list as long as your arm for here. And yet Swaying grass in wind teaches me to dance in one spot. It makes the hillside waltz but really not. It just seems that way. |
