Five (for Ludwig)

human nature breaks free

crazy maybe looks that way

put it into a form and get Beethoven

Klee, Keaton, Elvis, John…

…even they can’t tell you where

they came from.

In that human joy groove manifesting

moment to moment spontaneous

dance what could go wrong it doesn’t

no time for that so it comes out perfect

in ever time like the sun or a bird song…

that’s how you can tell you’re still alive.
