If you were to shuffle things in yourliving space
who would shuffle them back?
Insitu is a very important process
like amulets.
I have a feather.my feather is bewildering
and very small
and very fine
a wonderful thing
but it isn't insitu
it floats from place to place
looking for where it belongs.
Sometimes I wonder if I should throw it away
or put it somewhere very, very safe
but you see where it is now
even if it's not where it belongs
is somewhere I can find it.
"Is it secret? Is it safe?"
It will never by worth anything
It will always be a keepsake
probably one I will lose someday
although I could lock it up
there's a little box I have
a Bruce Lee box
I could keep my feather there
lock it up.
If I lose it I might wish I had
it's very tempting
I think about it at length
but it might be like losing my feather to do that
if I lose it perhaps I will comfort myself
saying,"at least I didn't lock it up!"
Can a feather every truly by insitu?
