Loving Work
01.23.2021.wenwenlin
my way of loving this world
is to clean
the mirror.
the dust, the sweat, the reflections,
the stories and the blood stains--
i am merely a warm blooded vertebrate.
tell me, do you bleed also?
hopelessly, i cannot be taught
again, and again--
with the same life experience, and
about something i already knew--
knowing too much is
knowing nothing--
un-knitting the sweater!
though it keeps my blood warm
and my place in the world of
circumstances and hierarchy.
my job is to cooperate with the inevitable--
(if no one sees it,
did it happen?
does it matter?)
i will clean the mirror
until the mirror disappears...
