so we carry on, and on
we take gene pool sides
with main course
diving for deep ends
we feel we are guided
and maybe from Mars
and we are familially ritualized
we comfort ourselves
as cagey cannibal souls
of almost
we go through rapids
and rewards
falling school
to flying highs
we are calendars
and cynical
we recycle joys
we surmise much
we take to pleasing
these days,
ourselves and others
we each presume
of the rest
life to life
inhale to exhale
we bone rattle throes
we regale often
as much as needed, really
because who doesn't want
to live forever
a character
roaming free
in a play
where the audience
feeds the circus
and the water
is always wine
backstage
