Lesson from the radio

from a radio show ..

if you can have either power
flight or invisibility
which would you choose?

most chose invisibility
wishing to see... (i thought)
moments speaking to
"what do folks really think of me"

the ones choosing flight
seem to choose it for speed

for me,
i don't know for sure
i am curious
what folks think of me
sometimes, i experiment with invisibility
little unknown people at university
can do this ya know

but one thing i do know
if i could fly -
a quick arrival time?
not so critical.
would love
flapping above
seeing far
above wires-
above chatter-
above shoulds
surrounded by open-ness
wonderful,
just wonderful
flying would be

the show finished with the thought:
who do we want to be -
the "me" who i wish i could be?
the "me" who i am afraid i already am?
who else?

maybe that's where
we insert
"i'm still learning"
we all have storylines...
and Carey says "it's all good"
and Kelly said "dang it all"
and Barry looks out windows
and Kathy said something
and annick says "isn't that funny?"
we are .. what we are
tomorrow is a new day
i knew what it was yesterday
...confused still
but learning
always learning

and still smiling
