Do Not Worry About Your Style.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

for soon the style they believe in
goes out of the window and breaks itself
on the glassy ground

do not worry
everything is in a flux
there is nothing that lasts
forever

listen, your inner self has a voice
you do not see where its mouth is
but it is speaking

listen carefully, speak to the rhythm of its
uniqueness
take pride in its cadence
rock yourself
put them all to a written piece

if you have these strong fingers
write it on the stone-faced slab
rest for a while
and let history be your noble judge....
