Some dao for you<\/span><\/p>

Stop talking<\/span>
so much and open<\/span>
for a while your curved<\/span>
ears; stop the<\/span>
darting of eyes like small<\/span>
fish in a tank and see<\/span>
slowly the water; instead of grabbing<\/span>
with fingers open the palm<\/span>
and let it come to you.<\/span><\/p>

This is the way, life living<\/span>
through me, and any pain<\/span>
comes from resisting<\/span>
what wants naturally to unfurl<\/span>
like a flag or a fern<\/span>
from my heart.<\/span><\/p>

Who are these people, myself?<\/span>
The details want to pour themselves,<\/span>
like rainbow butterflies from<\/span>
the mouth of a<\/span>
hippopotamus, into<\/span>
glorious cloud. Let us<\/span>
be what we want to be, let<\/span>
us be how we are.<\/span><\/p>

And to breathe when the foot<\/span>
lifts and to breathe when the<\/span>
foot falls (hair hot with sunlight,<\/span>
left hamstring beginning to ache)<\/span>
is to know that whatever<\/span>
wants to happen<\/span>
flamingo-bodied<\/span>
and fluted<\/span>
cannot<\/span>
not.<\/span><\/p>

Drink,<\/span>
drink.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
