Never Mind the Shape, Look at the Color



I haven't been here
I haven't been around
I haven't not been here

somewhere
anywhere
over there

nowhere not possible
hidden from sight
wait for the moonlight

waiting for the moonlight
would be better
but in what direction

about an orange line
a white line
make a general statement

point to the color
and not to the shape
never mind the shape

he's wearing green today
not a jacket
he's thick as a cloud

a diamond painted blue
a ruby painted blue
a frisbee in the garden

I haven't been anywhere
I haven't gone anywhere
I haven't seen you

this life took place
taking place
finding my place

in the world
the shape of things to come
at every turning

a red brick
a gray brick
an ornate roof line

having been here
I've been nowhere
having been longer

seen coming home
wait for moonlight
half a moonlight

I too have a pastness feeling
There is something further about it
what do you call that?
