Summersaults of Deer
We take up such an insignificant amount
of space, we almost don't exist.
Always in some out of the way place--
out of the way because lives are
particular enough never to meet.
Even if they do, we are ****** rumors
sporadically confirmed.
Kept by alone time.
The earth is only as large as particular
lives, no more significant than that.
What is the Atlantic Ocean to you right
now, or your neighbor for that matter?
You can't find little old me, I can't find
little old you--Yet.
I submit that if one that insignificant can
delineate existence, than a person on the
earth--is not about a person on the earth.
As we feel our way thru the unreal, we
notice the symbols we deal in can't
cover their meaning.
The way a day's events come
back to you the way they Really occurred,
not the way they had.
Most believe it the other way around.
It's more faithful to its illusion after the
fact, which were "events" in infinite
space, like the summersaults of deer in
headlights--already struck.
