Cosmic Ordering


from the ABC set 2007

Remember being two years old,
when all that you would say was 'No'
to everything that you were told:

Such certainty, as now you now,
was the limit of your goldfish bowl;
glass bubble you will yet outgrow.

For innocence is just a role
you play; a game of peek-a-boo,
where winning is no way the goal.

Adopt a pre-school point of view
and trust the universe to choose
the just reward that you are due.

The cosmos may seem to confuse
a greedy soul with one more bold,
yet this is hardly front page news.
