Bodies
There’s a body here, a body there.
Bodies, bodies, everywhere.
We lead the bodies to and fro
so that they seem to know
where they want to go.
Incarnations of the mind,
the bodies skip across in time.
The bodies dance. The bodies try.
And now and then a body dies.
We feed the bodies and let them sleep
and sometimes all the bodies weep.
We learn to love across the land
and take the bodies by the hand.
And someday when all the bodies wake,
they’ll sing along for goodness’ sake.
