Saturday
This perfectly sun-glistening Saturday in mid-March,
I find myself not, precisely speaking, adrift,
Yet not exactly moored, either.
Perhaps I'm a force in between disoriented and shorebound,
A wave rolling across a waterless ocean,
Going nowhere, slowly, not under its own momentum.
Maybe I'm a dust speck, a dandelion seed, a star,
Floating beneath an invisible bell jar
Enclosing, in an absolute vacuum, millions of Milky Ways.
Possibly, I'm something neither animate nor intangible,
Nothing, in a perpetual state of about-to-be everything,
An idea containing infinities, without a mind to dream itself alive.
