am awake in dawn
thoughtlessly alive
in a stream of life
past a collection of islands
against a grey sea
in a system of seas
infinite swirling grey
revolving about an black abyss
that is needing
i am moving
in increments
of eight
by sixty
by sixty
I am moving
still smaller
past atoms
quarks
leptons
bosons
and fermions
the spaces between things
are not rules, no.
exuberently tiny
in godless exultation
the freedom of matter
in rivulets
down my face.
