What if that teenage junkie is

Tara, madonna of compassion.

The bastard who discards you like garbage

Krishna, most devoted love god.

Those murderers your teachers

This barking dog your wakeup call

That fascist your best friend.

What if this world broke open every second

like a smashed egg live and dying

blossoming into bursting galaxies

throbbing with trembling tenderness

at every breakfast table.

Seek Truth By Carolanne Wright

Life…….

Night and day

This and that

Now and then

here and there

Up and down

Me and you,

Round and square

Something and Nothing….
