a life worth living


to uncover it 
gosh 
u have 2 suspend urself 
for a while 
to remove 
the relentless pressure 
the relentless presence 
of those cultivated concerns 
paying the rent 
paying the health insurance 
paying the taxes 
doing the right thing 
doing things the way 
one always has 
thinking about things the way 
one always has 
hearty weeds 
you try to pull them up 
but they keep coming back 
like the old days 
in the garden 
you pull the top off 
but leave the root 
to stop your previous motion 
to stop kicking 
to stop the current 
to suspend yourself 
is to put yourself 
near death 
like a shark 
who must keep in motion 
my hunch is 
that in this state 
you may 
come up with 
or see 
or feel 
that new thing 
a life worth living :)
