A takeaway wish on a takeaway star ---------------------------------- Either way, let it be quick and let it be gentle. And let there be someone to touch and someone to listen. In every timezone birthing, unbirthing. At every moment prayer, for you, etching silent thought or wailing, or speaking quietly or strongly or chanting, or being written or being read on emails, blogs and forums, calling to Jesus or Allah or us or quantum physics or old photographs or makeshift beds or tired eyes or art. Now this exists. If the Internet is a poet the poem is written in a layer above us If the Earth is a poet the poem is written in a layer below and around us If the sea is a poet and the sky is a poet and you are a poet and I am a poet take one for medicine and two for magic and three for hope and all the rest for love Janet Jackson Thu Jan 13 00:05:09 WST 2005 --------------------------------------- Janet Jackson <[log in to unmask]> www.arach.net.au/~huxtable/janet ---------------------------------------
