Three hundred steps

were the beats to the park

Alas, Meditation Garden

where I could pray

and ask if I could be

as cool as the new butterfly

that sputters such goodness

until it is completely spent

from giving so

And when I’m done

a copy of me comes along

Picking up where I then left off

But the walk back is much longer

Even though I

take the same route

why did I count

Three hundred steps

when I thought I flew to the chapel?
