Familiar
Because we have to give something,
or else can’t believe giving exists,
like a river will wish or will its way
around rock—I’m saying all water
comes, eventually, whether called
or not. Tucked among cloud forms,
the ipse-dixit booms of thunder
sound almost human; Water drops
when it wants. I want to wield
mackerel schools. I like imagining
other ways to put my ideas. When
I think about water, or time, I become
amorphous right along with ‘em—so
quick and unwilling to confirm what
moving forward means at any given.
Yet this is how I and everyone around
me live: like kids stuck in this big, old,
immaculate limbo, or cousins playing
in the wet dirt—real familiar with it.
