enlightenment

someone told me that at the end
of the path i'm on right now,
i'd find enlightenment

so here's what i learned
on this trip
in a nutshell:

if you're lucky enough to survive
all the bullets, buses, and bacilli
life has to throw at you,

at the end of the day,
you wind up in this broken little body
that won't let you do much of anything

so if you've got dreams,
whether they're big or small,
you'd better get busy making them real

RIGHT NOW
