cul-de-sac
(by jann castor, los angeles, Friday, November 1, 2002)
So we had an argument.
Your retort is not
what I expected.
Let us not judge ourselves
but converse -
since we only mean to see our own grace.
We haven’t?
Silly us, we made another mistake!
Our complex moments in which we exist
may have misguided us
instead of leading us to enlightenment!
See what life can do to us?
But it is not cul-de-sac yet.
Let’s watch the flow of water instead.
and find our way like
it always finds its own.
Let us be water
or we will part the skies we dreamt of
for ever.
Isn’t it how we breathe?
If we breathe, we can flow.
