Practicing All Weekend.
Stay in front of yourself In front! Right now!
Passionfruit and coffee and swimming!
Blue water on black sand beaches
and purple mangos with mist on them!
Hiking and and avocados with red skin!
Right in front! Here! Look!
Half-naked sweet creature. Brilliant star, lover.
Right here! Right now. In this small room
in this old bed, in this moment right now.
You could not ask for more
(except love, goes the little whisper anyway)
and it will never be this day again
so for god's sake start paying attention.
Stop thinking about everything
but here, now, him, this smell of rain,
(not will he want children), but
these quick geckos on the window, his strong back,
(not how his eyes will change and not change
with the years and sun and knowing), just
his feet holding your feet on the chair between you,
(not what kind of claims the future has already filed) only
now now now and nothing else.
Fruit falling in the jungle, all around you.
Catch it.
