Mass is
immaterial. What matters
is to keep moving, find the return.
The answer’s this way. Days like that
I felt it hard, but this is worse –
the wind could lift me, rain’s like stair-rods.
Somewhere, a voice is worrying old songs:
The answer’s this way, this way home.
They want money, but my pocket’s empty,
except for some notes towards a poem:
some rhymes; a first line: ‘mass is immaterial’;
some synonyms: destructive, damaging.
To get to where the sunlight was,
The answer’s this way, this way home.
The back road’s fine.
