rounding back still getting somewhere

outdistanced                                             undivided                                      invincible,

da da cave where we walk,

glide, nearer to the source of this mutiny,

outdistanced without ocean                           minus legs                         beyond distances

a bruja happened to mention

we’ve gone extraneous here:

then there i am                             consider me now                          sidestepping time

capturing the physical

overboarding the metaphysical

 leaping the ledges

(bruja also warned:

avoid lusty cigar smoke

don’t be chased

practice being deliberate and intentional

 live unpredictably

stay focused on what one has started after,

           ignoring any misplaced pain)

then what matters gets spread around

for the process of “stopping the world” completes itself

then score one for self-created expression                            rather than tolerating,

points for encouraging miles to riff around inside:

we are wide focused receptacles,

accessible                                                   then                                    inaccessible:

such a remarkable place to reside
