photo: Jamaica, important vs non-important or the art of relativising, an homage to Joe and Enley
It seemed important to say
that we had nothing important to say
and yet we would still live
for was it really important to say
only what was important
for did we really know
what was important?
since we were happy to say both
what was important and
less important
for all these things
seemed important to us.
In the waiting room*

When I thought about it, at all the time I spent in waiting rooms with old magazines and photos on walls rescued from attics, I felt like a bird perched on an old fridge, in an old boat, waiting for answers, for questions, for fish.

Reading the headlines
and watching the sad world through
the dirty window
