It Does Not Matter That It Does Not Matter

IT DOES NOT MATTER THAT IT DOES NOT MATTER It does not matter that it does not matter And it does matter if it matters What matters and what doesn’t matter Does matter and doesn’t- And all our words All our formulations Are Dust and Death And not anything but Life and Blessing- So say what you say today And let Paradox and Contradiction tomorrow Be the Essence of all Future and Past Being- Life is a Mystery Death is a Horror Sorrow is Sorrow And as the Preacher says Live most fully in the Joy of those days in which you can enjoy, For one day whether we feel it or not The Systems will fail, And Goodbye will be our only Answer.
