gian lao
and lao tzu
have ruined my
life in verse:
for each has written
what i have wanted but better so
very much better: perhaps i have
lived too long
or have not
lived long
enough to capture the sense
that a
cabin is where
i would like to be as i
practice
the ancient
art of a one line
poem: the thing
is i want someone
at my side: someone
who understands
that a thousand words
mean little to a fire
