Everything is going beautifully Nowhere

Cooling off in Aravaipa Canyon

Do not ask where
we go from here
Nobody knows
Some think they do
but nobody really knows
anything
about anything

We are only gurgles
in the stream
and the stream doesn’t
know where it’s going
either
It is just going
It is just
going with its nature
as far as that
will take it

And with its nature
it has to take along
a horde of
gurgles
who are forever asking
where they are
gurgling to

Everything
is going beautifully
nowhere
