the
gods are far and otherwise engaged
has anyone
witnessed my life
my work?
my own
account is somewhat partial
if I
forgive, apologize
if I could
just explain
how little
I know of the great totality
I can't
imagine it thinks much of me
a dog sits
up
barks
we see
such simple things as taught
the trees
the grass
the cat
strokes by
ants won't
look up
proximity
is nothing for them
it's as
the worm to earth that's left
it's as
the bird's blank sky
is it not
the case
I'm always
far
and
otherwise engaged
ReplyDeleteWell, I know the gods are us
and I know that cats marshal us
and simple things don't actually exist
and we mostly ignore each other
and worms come out in the rain
Deleteread this first too quickly as
'the gods are for otherwise engaged'
