The air seems so simple -
open, empty, light
it rolls and floats with buoyant charm
never ceasing its formless flow
Above, the sky
below, the harsh constructions of small minds
the place where damage is incurred
debts are tallied up and never repaid
duties are compounded in ever greater total
I choose the upper quadrant -
leave the downside to the ones who crave order
there's no need for instruction or rulebooks
not when you've found a world of new impermanence
This place makes you float in wonder -
that place seals you in with brick and business deals.

The open sky seems much more hospitable to me.
Written after much reflection on the kind of life we live. |

I guess being a person who enjoys floating in wonder makes me a little biased.
