float





this is a poem i wrote
in the water it would not float
in the air it would not fly
in the rain it would not stay dry

in it i confess
my pathetic helplessness
swallowed without a trace
by a void without a face

words may be blessings or curses
in expanding universes
they may be slow or fast
but never last

o bubbles in the stream!
o disappearing dream!
one last moment i beg of you
one last word - or maybe two -
