POEM: Becoming by Jim Harrison
POEM: Becoming by Jim Harrison
Nowhere is it the same place as
yesterday.
None of us is the same person as
yesterday.
We finally die from the exhaustion of
becoming.
This downward cellular jubilance is
shared
by the wind, bugs, birds, bears and
rivers,
and perhaps the black holes in galactic
space
where our souls will all be gathered in
an invisible
thimble of antimatter. But we're getting ahead of ourselves.
Yes, trees wear out as the wattles under my chin
grow, the wrinkled hands that tried to strangle
a wife beater in New York City in 1957.
We whirl with the earth, catching our breath
as someone else, our soft brains ill-trained
except to watch ourselves disappear into the distance.
Still, we love to make music of this puzzle.
