THE WAIT

A story deals with distance;

how it can be crossed.

There will be dangerous animals

in the form of questions.

Some Jack of Clubs

will have hit upon an answer,

beguiled hunger,

continued.

I can’t wait to start out

dreaming (thinking).

This means I wait.

Consciousness is so boring

with its identification

of noises

in the dark,

its taxonomies

of grinding.

In my dreams,

feelings are tacked on

to shapes.

One or the other

must be an afterthought.

Together they make

an awkward animal.
