To Be Just Be..... Poem by RIC BASTASA

i heard
them say: invent yourself

is that not a lie?
did i not have a self already
created

all done, all well done
and that all that i do here
is just to live
and flow

when i was born
i did not put anything to myself
everything is there

reinvent yourself, you say it
again,
create a self, you say it
again

and how many times is the
reinvention?
from crap to crab,
from fig to pig
from snail to hammer
from fog to fag?

there is an easy way
to live
to just be this seed and
grow
and then fall back
and rot and
be another seed again
for years and years

there is an easy way
not to think
but just be.....
