You can say a lot in a little space
Are you swimming over there? Underwater and without electricity?
Is everyone
marveling at the violence of our culture that saturates
our lives?
There are earth quaking here on faults bigger than my own.
And while it all moves I am
slipping and
stumbling
too.
A n d y e t ?
Sometimes
the soles of my shoes and city concrete say a lot in just a little space
between the earth and my feet:
“Best to think with your heart and keep it moving–”
You imagine the inner busy body chismoso shocked gasping through some time-like-dimension,
Like we were left here sitting to wonder
about adapting to
losing bees.
