in the river outside
the daylight swims
close to the banks
never a dull minute passes
along the stream
the current, fierce under the wave
carries with it my dream
subtle, not tidy
whole, but not too much so
grander than the last
still like oxygen
then, the dam breaks
simple motion multiplied
a force of nature
colliding with my brain
splitting my body like a knife
splits a melon
just a little bit of resistance
but sweet nonetheless
short hills, nj
