Tennis Balls

In a very large room

are tennis balls

that represent

the molecules

in my hand

Thank you Alan Watts

for that image

but sir

I am enlightened

where I am

Nirvana

I see the tennis balls

as all the smiles

needed to accept it

All the molecules

in my body too

All I have to do is smile

with every molecule

in me

So I smile all the time

to thank everyone

for their help and themselves

with my smile

and the words behind it

all the molecules

all the smiles

all the words

When I jump

from tennis ball

to tennis ball

I'm not certain I smile

because there is so

much time in my hand

then no time at all

like the present

So I give myself the present

to jump with a smile
