It Is The 'Ing' Of Things Which Are Real Poem by RIC BASTASA

ongoing, loving, living,
existing, thinking,
agonizing, forgiving,
accepting,

drinking, thirsting,
eating, filling, filing,
reading, writing, singing,
philosophizing, mesmerizing,
sitting, setting, making, carrying,
bleeding, healing, bullying,
touching, merrymaking, seeding, planting, growing

these are the 'ings'
for they are real, and true and beautiful

keep going, keeping, storing, giving, releasing, freeing, seething, soothing, ....ing, , , , , ing....inging...there is no stopping of these 'ings'

moving living singing flying floating diving dying.
