buy a book. Don’t go to bed early.

      Seek out beige, in foodstuffs and landscapes.

      Chew gum if you’re overwhelmed.

      You’re in this alone. That means there’s nobody to stop you.

      You’re almost at the finish line.

      But first, you have to pick a finish line.

      DELPHI

      Everyone asks you what the god thinks—

      I want to know what you think.

      Behind the temple, a short lady

      bends in terror over a shallow pond’s edge.

      I tell her if she wants opinions

      she has to get to the other side

      and undress—a bamboo hedge

      will tastefully obscure her

      —peach and coconut flashes

      behind vegetable prison bars—

      that the prison is the mind,

      that the pond is what we call thought.

      She’s not so short her hair

      would get muddy—

      only the washable robes

      and sandals.

      I get into the pond and point out a path of rocks,

      and my bald head too,

      so she may step across.

      I tell her to think of my bald head

      as a squeaky, dense pill

      of white medicine.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
