Hoax

Next time you feel that little flip of happiness
that seems to last a nanosecond, do not sigh:
“well, that’s about as much as I will ever get of that,”
and once again return to thinking this whole dashed
exasperation of a life is just a cliché race of rats –
try to stop and dive inside that flicker and relax.

That tiny fleeting thing you think is nothing is
a puffing fat causality as big as any sky can be:
and utterly unfathomably real. Steal that moment
and allow it to reveal you aren’t up a tree, you’re
in eternity. Time and past and future are a bunch
of jokes. There’s a hoax going on here, folks.
