All Gone Forward
push a rock
up a hill
let it roll
down
again
eat your food
take your pills
place your bets
go to bed
put yourself
in my place
would you
do
what i've
been doing
throw a coin
across the river
watch it grow
into a forest
every waking hour
draws closer to the fringe of slow-moving canopies that roll along
with the elegance and purpose of a changing belief
eyes wide like children all gone forward
i was young
once
like you
but i'm not
young now
i don't know
how it changed
it just happens
all around you
put yourself
in my place
it's so
hard to listen
you throw a coin
across the river
and it grows
into a forest
every waking hour
draws closer to the fringe of slow-moving canopies that roll along
with the elegance and purpose of a changing belief
eyes wide like children all gone forward
