paying attention to the cosmos
it knows everything about you
and over the course of a lifetime
gradually lets you in on your
own little secrets
birth charts and palm lines
reciting and memorizing
practicing as if for the first time
words and phrases capturing
past and future events
resurrecting houseplants
from the brink of death
dealing cards by candlelight
gradually realizing
accumulating knowledge
can be a dangerous thing
there comes a point in time
everything circling around you
explodes into complete focus
leaving you empowered
at least momentarily
transported at your command
at one with the cosmos
