Late Orpheus and Recent Eurydice

© Beth Roberts

Now here is how we choose our way: equal attention to purchasing--the car, the christening dress, the wind-up parking goddess--more than enough supplied to what demands all this. All this to get back. Daily we pay out humility to surmise, respect to progress love to the far-flung. Fine-tuned we are to balance, synchronizing steps, all the right steps, all together now . . . We play our song, it keeps us going.) You be Hi and I'll be Yo / you're behind and I'm beyond / in between's a bond . . . Still (stunned by what's possible, besotted with the daily fare, we suspect it is enough for now, being kind) and blind, gazing differently at profiles on the coins we have for eyes.
