Beautiful Dreamer
Beautiful anarchist (beautiful dreamer)
sending messages, writing manifestoes,
believing in free love
even though it fell
out of fashion
long ago.
Passion, and freedom;
hope, and illusion;
truth, and
the way you want
the world to be.
Forget your losses,
the battles not won,
the plans unrealized,
the chores left undone.
Consider yourself lucky to be still standing
though the reasons for standing are long gone.
Witness the unfathomable
though others look away
or don’t know what they’re seeing anyway.
Meandering meanings are changing and fading away,
fading away into the nostalgic myth of yesterday.
But you’re still here,
drinking light beer,
so what are you
complaining about.
Personas shuffling and shifting
like used paperback novels in the wind,
the ambiguity queen traipses
across the calligraphied universe.
