I'm going to look at that flower
until my eyes know
all the truths of the universe

I'm going to rest in that river
to understand how
the passage of time works

But first

I'm going to stun myself in this city
and learn the balm
that silence can be

When everything on the outside deceives you, come back inside yourself
