<\/p>\n
Oh the end game of i<\/p>\n
to have bounced from country to country<\/p>\n
or danced among the silent letters of time<\/p>\n
to have been part of Marseille, of Seoul, of Carlsbad<\/p>\n
of Canada and of the Alps<\/p>\n
to have returned at the time of tin terror<\/p>\n
to this earthy, giving land<\/p>\n
to Antigua, to Guatemala and to those places<\/p>\n
where the Mayans met the Spanish and they mixed their blood,<\/p>\n
to have sauntered through the mist and mystery of early morning Prague<\/p>\n
to have survived this house of mirrors, this life<\/p>\n
to have sought in vain, the always in the eyes of one woman<\/p>\n
to have questioned old wisdom, new wisdom, this empty modern<\/p>\n
to have seen things as they are<\/p>\n
death, the clear morning, the forever sky and the tender blooms of spring<\/p>\n
and to have seen the horror, the always deep end<\/p>\n
except for that moment, the old lady in Kiev handing me a pen<\/p>\n
a face that does not want you to forget it.<\/p>\n
Oh the end game of i<\/p>\n
perhaps no more, no less that u.<\/p>\n
