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.
