A Poem For Today - Dictionary

Maybe there is a word in it somewhere 
to describe the world this morning, 
a word for the way the early light 
takes delight in chasing the darkness 
out of store windows and doorways. 

Another word for the way it lingers 
over a pair of wire-rimmed glasses 
someone let drop on the sidewalk 
last night and staggered off blindly 
talking to himself or breaking into song.

I think it was song.

Do not imagine that you are alone in your village, in your city, or among the infinite worlds.

Do not imagine that you are enchained to this time and this space.

Do not imagine that upon your death, loneliness will become eternal.
