Yatra Or the Art of Distraction

before you forgot me I forgot you stopping for 'STOP LOSS' on this stage to stand alone persistent anonymous we're almost there - ground zero - never out of position when so often there isn't one we imagined we were at John 'n Yoko's Montreal BED-IN ~ "giving peace a chance" you could live your whole life lost like that IN-BED we sought beaches, white water 'n hummingbirds galore a cerulean blue morpho at the butterfly gardens of Costa Rica adventure therapy from sea to bed: a slippery place where the faithful prey for abundance 'n grace in the shadow of depression the race to the finish-line was often an obstacle course: collectible 'n historical forever blue, remembering I'd forgotten you but found you a hundred, a thousand times beyond the ability to remember or express my love
