Indoctrinated Light

I was looking for a circle

to edge my sink with

after renovation

but I couldn't find it or

didn't know what to call it

so I put the idea away

in a box for later.

well actually in a cabinet

under one of the steps

so it can see me

as I move through the day.

◇

a circle

limits entrance of anything else

except what is already there

yet from another angle

it guides, like a channel.

◇

I wonder

that we live in this circle of earth

have breath and life by dint of the sun

unaware of borders

except what indoctrination has taught.

◇

which direction we live by

is a matter of personal choice

I suppose.

live in a prison of our own making

banging round and round on the rim

or flow like a river, in gentle beauty

enjoying unfathomable wanderings

in the process.

◇

we are nothing more

than immigrants on an odyssey

to celestial shores.

while here

the least we can do

is enjoy some jazz along the way.
