No Need To Explain

No need to explain

No need to enframe

Don’t be entombed

Before you’ve unwombed

And breathed a little free

No one will remember

Anyway,

Your living is a breeze

What need have you

To re-order your records

So they shall be seen

Nobody cares about what becomes of your picture

So go ahead and paint it

Whoever thinks about your name

No one cares if you reach fame

Nobody looks upon your shelf

To evaluate treasures collected

Think this way and it will get

Too tight to breathe

Or put a foot in front of the other

When it gets like this

Best to leave

Your shoes safe by the door

Strip off a few layers

Of those bandages, your clothes

Squealch in the mud

Shed a little blood

Scream a little cry a little laugh a little

It’s all good

Hey

Indeed it’s swell

To make a thing

Or proffer up a clever line

But holding on or chasing credit

Will just explode your mind

Ships have ropes to dock them in

But ships are happy sailing

All that matters is your state right now

Know this moment

And sail with it.

Wind is wonderful
