To Be

the outrageous fortune

that stirred me about

in this mess of swill

I call my life



I cannot explain

it just appears

on the page

for the amazement of all



don't make lite

of what you don't understand

be more lenient

and open your mind



for what I say

I really don't mean

or is it the other way round

I don't say

what I really mean



thoughts twist me about

into an unreal mess

I have to hold on

in this unholy tryst



to be is not a thought

but an act of will

the only reality

that keeps me still
