ORIENTATION
Thinking that means to be facing east, I put
all my dreams in a box that I carry with me.
A constant conflagration gathers near me :
ice to the frozen, heat to the hot.
-
I wonder as I walk - is it better to keep these
dreams boxed, channeled and quartered as I
walk, or let them out to freely fly about? Knowing
there's no answer really, I watch the rising sun,
and think to myself, 'yes, that too is the east.'
-
Perhaps the sun knows all these dreams I keep
imprisoned already, and knew them yesterday
and will know them tomorrow as well. What
happens to a dream deferred?, as has been said?
Oh, Langston, you can really help me now.
