Reconfigure A New Route For My Mind 6.1.2008

A New Route

The sensation of lukewarm sea water
too shallow for swimming, perfect for
drifting; then sitting under ten-storey
high fir trees, the sea and wind sighing

You’re playing with your new cell phone
while I’m caught in the nightmares of a
Castaneda, wrapped in my own mind,
in need of shifting my focus

To things that I like, because I’ve heard
and read too many things that are sad
and threatening – time to reconfigure
a new route for my mind!

Water And Currents And Rocks

Your new diving mask let me see psychedelic
bubbles in its strange colouring; I was the last
one swimming in the sea, the wind strong;
but stronger in me the enjoyment of the deli-
cious sensation of currents washing over my
body; staring at sliver glimmers of fishes;
savouring the feeling of gliding through water
powerfully, feeling as free as a fish myself;
in the end Tiaan forced me to leave, he was
freezing, so was I, but the heavenly sensations
were making me delirious, I can’t wait
to go back, to feel it again: Water and
currents and rocks and enchanting
fishes to see!

A New Way Of Living

I changed into a dreamer today, clad
in a black evening gown, sallied forth
to enjoy a magical night on the town,
I imagined my favourite characters
There; thought up a whole scenario
of lovely delight; while we shopped
and talked, watched out for hippo’s
and crocodiles, saw rhinos and
buffaloes, my characters discussed
philosophy, poetry and the prospect
of a new universe where the imagi-
nation was free to invent new ways
of living and being and seeing, new
ideas for interaction and creating
and making and thinking – I had the
most marvelous time, with you and
the kids talking away while I smiled
with little to say, recreating the world
in my mind – a new way of living and
loving and being and seeing!
