dry noodles in the soup.

year after year.
Things seem to clarify.

Perhaps this will suffice as 'doing something' with the vision.
Yes, I was driving and leveling the camera on the dash for quick bursts.
While picking litter
a folded up profundity
slipped into my fingers

Or, you could just up and go there now

On & Off
Moving through the veils
Slowly; encountering fewer
possible knots
Calling into existence
How often and loud
As if simply
On & Off

How am I?
Let me pick a few ripe fruits
from invisible trees in this garden,
I swear we're standing in right now.
Would you like a tour?
Or, we can sit a bit.
I'll fix you a plate.
