Become the Landscape

When you become the landscape,
you sit here quietly, peacefully, serenely, joyfully.
Not a joy that's a feeling,
like an emotion or something
A peaceful joy
that's in the pulse of the rivers and sinews
The red and blue of veins
interchanging all over the place - happily.

No Sense

I love things that don't make sense
Like trees
Manhattan
And the woman in stilettos pushing the baby carriage.
