8/10/2024 RISING TIDES

AFTER THE FLOOD WARNING

Thieves
Con/Jur/d, 8/10/2024

Who has stolen our lives
our innate potential, our
YEARS MONTHS  DAYS
why can we not find them 
WE LOOK AND LOOK--
what were we thinking just 
a moment ago? You thought
you’d become a Kappâtita
a goer beyond time, by now?
Lean in so we can whisper,

YOU SUCCEEDED!

There are ongoing celebrations
symbolic substitutions, 
understood by the OVER--
OVERSOUL to be ISO--
MORPHIC to the UNBORN
and BORNLESS in its
STEP
         PED down
temporal manifestation like
right now, reading this, is 
CANDLES ON THE CAKE
and afters and befores
there will be a yeasty
feasty party with 
dancing and music by

MEAT and MUSCLE

FEET, GUT, HEART, and HEAD

and because you escaped
From time and cause and effect
happen in differing orders
and since you would, could, can
since now, you’re present in 
every moment, no matter its length
and the post-anthropomorphized

YOU likes
SURPRISES
and ill-fitting lines and  awkward 

pranks
you stole the invitation, the permission
to party, to be joyful, thankful, ecstatic
SO YOU DON’T even KNOW 

THIS IS YOUR PARTY!

and the only party game 
worth playing is 
stealing back 
stealing forward
THE KNOWING 
this is, IS

YOU.

EARLIER THAT DAY
