DISAPPEARED?
For Ginny Zeitman
Rumors
of my disappearance
are greatly exaggerated.
I know where I am.
So does my family.
So do people who see me,
sitting under a bo tree.
You may not recognize me,
but they do, embarassed
by what I'm doing.
I've done much worse;
I've starved myself.
Fortunately I stopped
before I died.
There's a lesson,
actually many lessons,
to be learned from this,
depending upon your
inclination to learn.
Learn this:
where you begin
may not be
where you finish.
It may look like it,
but then, it may not.
Simple enough?
I am beginning
to think so. You
may, too. Or not.
It's all up to you.
Are you
listening?
I am.
To you.
