For Right Now

Happy to be here and there
After all at this late hour
Happy to be anywhere
Still with style still without power
Happy still in any case
Still to care and not to care
To exist in any place

Do I know where I might be
Tomorrow or the next day?
Someone might know but not me
Living here or passed away
Sailing or else cast to sea
Ashes into memory
Still I will have had my say
Riddled into poetry
Left behind beyond my stay

As long as there are stars in
The sky to wink at our sin
I might as well enjoy me
No one else can destroy me
So the thing to do is be
Happy to be here and there
To exist in any place

Happy to be anywhere
For right now in any case

DEAR STEVEN
YOU ARE AN ASCETIC NOW
GREAT
SUPANI

Thank you, my friend!

I mean to be, hope to be, aspire to be an ascetic. I think I'm definitely on the road there; it's a factor of my nature which has been unfolding throughout my life, becoming more pronounced.

Thanks for always reading my work so closely and insightfully.

Respect and solidarity,

+Stevie
