What The Mushrooms Teach

is nothing
you can find online
or in the local library
rather it's knowledge born
of the immense mycelial world
that's hidden underground
of which we know only
the evanescent fruits though even they
have much to tell us
some open our eyes
to see the world
as if a new creation
is the wonder that we feel
out there or in ourselves?
but there is no in or out
it's like our first discovery
of sex and sexual love
when dewy eyed we see the world
as if we'd just been born
and heard as if for the first time
love singing through our veins
our every cell awakened now
and joining in the song
