今朝の落書き

When I put on familiar clothes
I felt the needless tension leave my body

Along a road bathed in gentle sunlight
as I walk, exactly on schedule
the train bound for the city runs
the crossing rings
a breeze blows

Probability and rules do not mix
they pass through this here and now as ever

I simply stand by and watch
forgetting the theorem someone taught me, that this is how things are
swayed by a few simple, great principles
I walk through a morning that could be chance or inevitability

You simply accept it
or overlook it
following the things you were taught were how things are
caring for a fragile, pure heart
you live through days that come into being as a matter of course

Still tucked away in a bag
the words packed into a forgotten book
are surely travelling wherever they please by now

Long, long ago
when a falling apple told us gravity existed
I feel the tree that did not fall was arguing against it

These carefree things
I think a god is secretly listening to somewhere
and enjoying

Someone talking about things not on the schedule
that will not upset the schedule either

Someone going into tomorrow on schedule
keeping to the schedule

Someone who likes probability
someone who likes rules

A world, here and now because of each of them, blows by
I travel through the universe along the horizon
wearing a hoodie beginning to lose its colour
wearing leather shoes a little stretched out
carrying one or two beautiful principles
rejoicing in the life that is here today, too
thinking of the blessings that are mine

Thank you for reading again today. About a spring morning.
