wind on a will*

          *with apologies to A.A. Milne

I can tell you,
    Everybody knows,
Where the wind comes from,
   Where the wind goes.
 
It’s flying out from within
   As fast as it can,
You couldn't keep up with it,
 Not if you ran.
 
But without the hollow brass,
   It's cheek polished bright,
There wouldn’t blow any wind,
     Not day, not night.
 
And then, when held up high,
   Wherever it blows,
You’ll know where
    The silk wind flows.
 
So let us play then,
   Where the wind goes . . .
But where the wind comes from,
Everybody’s nose.

 

How to Prepare a Show

 

First enter the space.

Then breathe.

Lay down your weight

and breathe again.

Breathe alone.

Breathe together.

Again

and again.

Breathe billows.

Do the twist.

Prepare to bring home the bacon.

Draw your bow and arrow

and count 10, 9, 8,

7, 6, 5,

4,

3,

2...
