The Wish


what do I need to do, I think

is this a hole here or my conditioning

to imagine I want more than i need

and belong somewhere that fits me

 

or do I fit and this is just badly cut?

but there is always something isn’t there?

what do we do if we have everything?

what do we work towards if we do?

 

no one can tell me and that’s good

I need to build things too

have my own opinions about things

like why zebras have stripes

 

why can we know many things

except why there is a hole inside

we can type code that puts words and

pictures on the other side of the world

 

but we can’t fix some things

and maybe that’s a thing all by itself

to accept it as if it is solid and natural

you are not supposed to fix it at all

 

and I know not to stand to close

to Pan the monkey at Natureland

because he’ll throw pooze at me

but it doesn’t help me with this

 

I am accepting it now

but I don’t want to at all

because it is becoming comfortable

this hole in me right here

 

I just wish it would go away
