By Pass

 By Pass 

today is the day

when time and space  

collapse into a singularity

 

lying on the surgeon's table

etherized

getting ready for open heart surgery

 

"poetry is the shortest distance to God"

the surgeon said, while installing

a wormhole in my artery

that directly connects to the bypass

"write, cry or just being--

 

set free random thoughts that are

in search of a monkey mind

set free all the wildest birds in flight

which were hanging on the tail of a storm

stubbornly refusing to come in out of the rain"

 

"and may you catch the flu" the surgeon says,

"of eternal infection of glee and jubilation."


I have a new heart.
