UP TO UP TO

UP TO UP TO

Some people imagine that

Somebody drops a ladder

for everybody to climb up;

other people get to work

building a tower up,

both imagining an up

to up to. Imagine that!

The OT-biblical dynamic images - a ladder descending, a tower ascending - assume a Heaven 'up there' but what if what-if is here & now? (i.e.) Jiddu Krishnamurti told us to learn to accept that It doesn't get any better than This. I'd rather a ground-level horizontal common-good, not an unnecessarily-vertical one.With a lot of unoccupied planet to fill; people being born every minute to fill it, wise-up, humans! This it IT! Make the most of it!

FALL

For every cuppa tea I sip
a tear should fall, 
disappearing into it.

JUSTA CUPPA

Lonely for company,

I crave a cuppa tea

to centa me; 
w/out it I'm sadly

ungrounded. Tea,

& your company

centa me. Dica me,

sitting beside me.
