Back and Forth
The ferry carries the people in its jaw
Before the island you need to see water
all around you The smallness of your
eyeball The smallness of that empty
stroller The large ferry’s smallness
which seemed so large leashed to land
To forget what is in front of you
look through it Another thing lingers
in the hall These shapes are always
faint They want to be seen but only
barely The ferry won’t let you any closer
any faster This test is about distance and
decisions The problem with logic
problems is all the left-out elements
Sure, you’re heading from the mainland
to the island But you’ll get there when
you get there Let the water work on
you This planet is an island
