I am an example of how it can be

Examples fall out like Mikado

or I Ching sticks

across graphene-thin atom veils

The patterns that form

are depicted and redeployed,

visible from indefinite positions in space;

frequencies singing in waiting rooms & escalators;

through vast forests and on Sunday outings

Now the day stands humming

outside the garage

and the ground tends to maintenance everywhere;

on land and on the seabed

The sky houses birds that dance & scream

The seas are gigantic halls with weightless beings

that sing and soak in bubble baths

People were a bad idea,

but can be made to observe,

and search Merck Manuals

Tanumshede & Nok Kundi

are examples of place names,

of which there are many

The day after vaccination liberates me

of ski tracks and gradual chills

As I rise

to go massage liniment

on sore muscles

down my right hip and glutes,

I don't remember exactly where the pain sat

when I lay in bed

I glance in the mirror;

look wild & old and somewhat caught...,

without glasses an apparition like the popular notion

of a stone age man; a hunter & gatherer;

otherwise the timeless victim of evolution

and the dance of the elements in galactic veils of dust,

but Anna's hand from inside the cover at bedtime

is the grabber of love

from a relatively undeserved benevolence
