on/off





• • •

there is a seamless reality
most of the time until there
isn't - switching happens

millions of times a day, we 
just veer away from these
transitions as if the
flip side doesn't exist.

For instance, where is the
poetry? Bring it on!

Fair
fair
fair
the stakes are higher
the wind slacks
and the surface shrieks
its delight

what once was
disperses
seamlessly
filling into another
real ity

finally
the wake estimates
its return even now
wake of casket
wake of vessel
wake of day

how does carrying on occur?
this wrestling verges
on/off the edge
firing random
synapses

    Janice, you get at the randomness and also the surrender to it. Rereading... continues to fascinate...
