Amidst Economy

Children as backpacks
and eyes trained on quantity.
Welcome.
Has anybody asked
what that means?
Sure they have,
every time they acted for it.

For some reason Roger Bannister
comes to mind--with visions of the
levee breaking and everything.

We usually get what we truly want--
and of course small desire doesn't
count. To want is to need for the
soul.

Focus.
Don't over-extend your resources.
Patience.
Mind-bending the right way comes
in time.

Let go of that which you think you know
in order to learn the sound of truth.
