Bearing (CAI2019) |
like it matters
he asks me,
are you ready?
but whatever I answer
he hears what he expects.
this is no small plot
this moment I inhabit
this place, this space standing
under my protection
projection
of my unstable foothold
in the space of time and place
of the place in space
and time
that's mine
though possession has no meaning
in the rhyme of now.
Are you ready?
Like matter
has any bearing at all.
