Reflection On An Aging Nomad

Memories In Our Minds As Bodies
I remember my mindbody would tense

no longer stuck
in win/lose sad

Symposium
Skinned shins on tree skins,
Space-viewed landscapes of rust and paint
Showing mirrored continents imagined;
Worlds within worlds at every turn,
Outlines of Octopi on Oil slicked streets;
Every post and pole or stone a step:

Grue is his banner
left by his

refracting illusions of gift-it-forward co-redemptive grandeur
leading cooperative economic explorations
into remembering pronoia hopes
