826

nobody... peekaboo?

I am continually being reminded of my own insignificance

this is how it goes

how much bigger the sky

how deep the roots

and money!

and knowledge!

I am all their slave

when I hold a hose in my hand

you can't call that rain

I live in the thing

I am fallen to light

I ripen

then I'm off

my puny breath would drive no wheel

I sweat for the sun

and so it is with all my kind

there are too many of us

we are not required

I'm too much just by myself

I'm the phenomenon you can ignore

observe!

I will have passed like weather

the one who made no difference is me

(not even that makes me special)

I dreamt my teeth weren't cleaned

couldn't drive from the back seat

boot would not connect with the ball

I fell from great height

everyone does

I stand here at the vanishing point

can you read me?

nobody does

love is the truth I attend

this is a matter of infinite care

a last man in my way

why do I listen for the news?

I never get a mention

now satisfied with what where why

a road comes rattling out

like a tune

back in the box

and make mine pine

though I'd rather just lay down

let the snow

it's already left me blind
