Catnap
How long can an hour-and-a-half catnap last,
When you're seeking freedom, at the end of your dock,
Flat on your back, wearing nothing but jeans and a flannel shirt,
And an intermittent Sunday sun, mistaking your shape
For one more of its gloriously glittering water spirits,
Sends down its energy, to engender, in you, omnipotence?
As a lake devotee who's endured four days of rain-effaced rays,
I'd estimate it could last a forever or three . . .
That's how immortal I feel, right this supine lifetime of mine.
