The Big What
 
 
What do you do?
 
You who rush to be somewhere
before others jump ahead
waiting to push you back.
 
What might you do?
 
You whose scorecard is without pencil,
whose time clock ticks backward in fear,
who wants that which others want,
which no one can own.

What can you do?

You who claim no real estate of stuff,
even as those who do
would have you removed
as out of vogue.

What ought you do?

Step aside like shadows of what might have been
stretch their phantasm even further
beyond the light source of reality.

What to do?

What to do?

Might the answer be…

Giving permission to the being Within,
obviating the masquerading Illusion Without?
