Maybe Start with Unaware Awareness

What is beauty

Who knows

Who knows

And decides

No one

But someone

Something

Qualities

We say

Evening gown

Swimsuit

Answers to questions

And the talent part

And then scholarships

We hop

We hope

x

Well

Consider the pot

That has fallen

And is broken

And the Japanese

Shall with skill

And wisdom

Apply gold

To the broken parts

In making

A new whole

x

And where is the beauty

In the original

The brokenness

The healing

New beauty

And new usefulness

x

Or is it in the day

That no one else has made

But there is water

There is sky

And for ground for continents

Coasts and mountains

Plains between

The piedmont

Where we learn to climb

x

Who made this

And

Let’s have it

Anyway

(determinism later)

x

Let’s dance

Because we don’t how

And take a lifetime

Uncertain

And uncertain

To learn

And to allow for pleasure

In first steps

x

And is there truth in beauty

Sure

Why not

There is also play

And we can argue

If we know no better

Our of ignorance

An argument

To articulate

We can’t article

x

And keep in mind

What is frozen

On the urn

And in the text

Is movement

A celebration

And reminder

About moving

Celebrating

Playing

Working

(the potter must have worked hard)

All to say

To have

That there is beauty

There is truth

There is your mother

There is your child

x

Order disorder

If we must

Or if we must

Leave it go
