Sum Zero Life
when a soul gets old enough
we see all of everyone we have
ever known
some dressed in contemporary clothes
others of days long past
so i walk alone
only my shadow
and we walk
oh, we walk alone
Ink-dried ancient papers in some
lost attic invites a lonely lost
Soul so it walks between the
line of vital signs and dead ends
(hey!) the living walk alone
and so my shadow is brilliant
light inside common minds so
why do I walk alone?
So God is not that economical:
I LED THE LINE
and no one to my left nor to
all the rights of wrongs
and wrongs of rights
so i walk alone
only my poetry and
abstract paintings and
sometimes i ask the Universe:
"Why Sum Zero?"
