DAY RIDE ( NYU Day 3 )


A ride
In the park
A day
Light to dark
Dark to light
Anything but tonight
Never let it end
The stride: never bend
And the journey
Ever last
Just fast enough
This water fountain
Mountaining my mind
As we watch from behind
The spinning
As we watch from as close as we can
Doing what
One can
Change their world

Attempts to range the weather
Never knowing what’s better
Today, yesterday, or tomorrow
So let’s invest in right now
Attest somehow
For a policy on happiness
The sun
The water
The ride
The future of the present
A present for us to share
Hope in the hearts of our eyes
We open to let the light in
And
In it comes
Happy to be there
Unfair to those without
The lost and full of doubt

But what for
What’s it about
They ask
Tempting themselves
To neglect their selves
Putting presence on the shelves
Of existence

We should
(to be sure)
Never do that
We should
(to be pure)
Embrace
Replace worry
With hurry
Up and stay
Who we are
Truly
Be a star
Fully

On the sky of the Metaphor
