you should know
the way of the world
before you learn to avoid it
or learn not to care.
you should know the way things are
whether or not u wish to change it.
you should understand the sky
and grass
and trees
and spinning suns,
and you should know at least one person beside yourself.
you should know that life cannot be bought
it happens
in a way
we call miraculous
which is to say
no one knows
and everything
in life that matters comes
into it like we do
and goes the same--from places unknown
to places unknown.
you must know
and you will at some point
as i do
that money buys comfort
aand no more.
I found you
like i found myself in this place
and I didnt let go
of either of us.
