A Plan Today

Let us build something worthwhile today,

something of simple or complex config-

uration, an upside down tower, perhaps,

which leads us back to ground, a tunnel

which turns us inside out so that we arrive

back from where we began. Let us have a

plan so ridiculous it seems grand, a roller

coaster ride, could be, propelled backwards

on the flat track of eternity. I’ll bring a hod

of bricks, you shoulder buckets of mortar.

Let’s begin early, at the crack of dawn, and

work all day long until our idea is complete.

Here’s a blueprint plan in hand to ensure

we get it done right this time. See here, two

lines which intersect? That happens to be

you and me in the middle joining hands.

Lord knows, we’ve wasted enough precious

energy taking about all the possibilities.

I see a museum made out of mostly glass

where the art on display is that starving

children of the world come to get fed

every day. Impossible, you say...It’s about

time, roll up your sleeves, let’s get the

job done.
