Plot

Plot

I thought the ground was the x-axis
so I knelt to grab it
and as I pulled it,

this is how the world
came hurtling toward me

to show me how little
I know
of it,

just as glaciers
or future fields
cannot conceive
of me.

  1. I like that turn. I think it's never occurred to me to think the big forces of nature might know me. And you offer the possibility so modestly.
