Merry Christmas from Reid Baer

Will To Live
By Reid Baer

Is it universally true
or just individually

necessary for me to will
this moment in reality?

both and forward backward like a
loose leaf blown around and through a

simple world by my mortal time
with me as complex as ever

found forever at one thing in
sight: a respite from my many

refined intellectual tricks.
I command and I obey and

yet somewhere something else – a real
strong sensation – joins in the mix.
