Don't Look Down

Climb a building
like a wedge in the sky.

Stand on the roof
and don’t look down.

There, in an ocean of air,
let yourself forget

the sizzling wires below
and those who know no calm.

(A Harvard School of Happiness
would tell its graduates

Don’t Work For Worth In The World!
Don’t Poison The Void With Noise!)

Breathe like slow fog
through wind-worn pillars

(smooth with silence,
total and timeless,

a memory of eternity).
This is it.
