the importance of not knowing

the importance of not knowing

if you really could know
what was coming
next:
that might
feel secure
and might make life
really dull

this moment
we experience

the next we discover

the past
we explain
talk about
make a story about
create a fuss drama lie myth agenda
around

and it's over
the past
is gone

and to even try to get
it back

like trying to say hi to someone
tomorrow

no place to stand
no under standing
shifty
and not safe

the only serenity:
this stand
this under us,
gravity pulls us somehow
can we feel it,
now
