Ive Never Herded Oxen, Have You? (10/5/11) If youve never herded oxen, the way through madness is an unfolding thing, but not necessarily so; if youve never hugged a tree you must have vampire eyes, drawing blood from life and limb, but not necessarily so. If youve never been in love with love, youve never climbed a mountain much less Jacobs ladder, but not necessarily so; if you thought passion was an ancient art, youve never broken a mirror or petted a black cat, dressed for success in your costume and war paint, but not necessarily so. If you have ever loved, you dont need memories, you wouldnt want a second-hand emotion wrapped up in Christmas paper, like presents waiting for little people or the big sky, but not necessarily so; if you think a poem has to be written by a poet, taint necessarily so. Just hold a thought long enough to break through each and every serpentine wall and call it illumination or insight from beyond the beyond and sing with Lennon his Imagine song. Learn to love as if for the first time, as if for the last time. Now count your oxen, see if one is missing after crossing the Jordan River on your way to a new Jerusalem. ~~~~~ https://youtube/watch?v=yNKhIJfB510#t=70
