Still Going

Decade and a half ago,

In an intricate bookstore,

In a Kootenay village,

You came across a copy

Of a new book by Ram Dass,

The guru of Be Here Now.

His new book was called, Still Here.

Very nice. Good joke. Be here,

Still, even after his stroke.

Somehow, you never bought it,

And Jenny’s Books is long gone.

Ram Dass himself has moved on.

Of them, now you’re the one still

Going around and around.
