If There are Such Things as Genies

If there are such things as genies – as we lean

toward thinking there must be –

surely their abiding meanings don’t reside

inside the bottles in which we presume they hide –

nor in their putatively abject willingness to give

whoever finds them a free ride –

but rather in what coincides in them between

the gliding miracle of Being and their grasp

of what to do with it. One must assume they do

as they see fit. The message

may be more than we construe. It may suggest

the impulse of Existence is to give to you.
