The God Ganesha* Walked Into the Bar...
Marie Kazalia
Lifted his elephant body
up onto the stool beside me.
His thick trunk flopped,
(into my life),
in my lap.
I stroked the live thing,
rubbed, as we talked, about
deep and powerful thoughts.
I can not now
tell you, what they were exactly.
But his energy entered
me, and would cause changes to occur,
he told me. -- And I said, that’s OK,
change a good thing.
Even though I’m not so young
anymore, I’m still eager
to learn. And besides,
nothing will change
that should stay as it
already is---
