BEING NEW
A rolling, snowballing buttress
whats learning’s like
when you’re a kid
So fast, everything coming in
So fast, so much assimilated
Everything new
math problems: new
words: new
What your family’s like
What you can expect from friends
If reincarnation true
at least being born
feels like a clean slate
an etch-a-sketch chance
for better chain direction
Spirit flowing
like Helen Keller’s water,
those in the know
dabbing us with
the invisible
Baptism
of sacred
fount
We strain to understand
what it’s about
What signs are incidental
and what are indicators
from the schisms
in the babble
around
~ Lady
