The World Poem by RIC BASTASA

the reason why the world
is round
is that there are always
reasons

circuitous in
fact where the premise
sometimes
becomes the
conclusion
and vice-versa

where
the end at the
end seems
to be the beginning
of another
beginning

endless
perpetual
eternal

that seems
to be what
this world
is all about

failures strictly
speaking
become successes

and seemingly
enough
successes also
become failures

we just don't know
what is this
all about
then and now

and where this
world is really
heading
or tailing

and that is what
is this world
is all about
now & then

the surprises, the excitement
of what is next
to come to follow


calm down baby
let's get moving

on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on

it is the journey itself and the feelings
not even a thought

it is this
moving

on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on

so calm down, baby,
go, go, go, go

be always on the go
