Good Advice
by Ruth Stone


Here is not exactly here
because it passed by there
two seconds ago;
where it will not come back.
Although you adjust to this--
it's nothing, you say,
just the way it is.
How poor are we,
with all this running
through our fingers.
"Here," says the Devil,
"Eat. It's Paradise."
