Jazz Camp from Still/Free by Sarah Bernstein Quartet

We don't control this
something happens
and it becomes
true, real
or less so
organized
or not so.
“Hurry up, please it's”
captive
passenger
temporary.

Remember?
it's time travel.
Remember
to exit.

Forward
action, reaction
body braced against
look at what's speeding
in the other
direction.

“My life”
am I still?
moving?
not moving
stasis
so fast
last year's
commitment
belief in
remember?

Retreat
invisible survival
hiding in daylight
without glasses
or a hat
the walking stick
against the wall.

Slowing to a standstill
less, non, exist
this is easy.
