From this point on,
it's a lattice
of ends
disguised as means:
the strangler fig,
the anteater.

I've developed the ability
to revise
what I'm waiting for
so that letter
becomes dinner
gradually
while the contrapuntal
nodding
of the Chinese elm leaves
redistributes
ennui

Backwash of revelation:
to see these articulated,
new weeds
as one thing;
to hear bird-chirps
parse the plenum.

When aren't
we synonymous with
increased vigilance,
now with this time,
now in this sense?

Tongues tapping
the roofs
of our own mouths
to make meaning.

Then God diddles us
with this sunset,
its pale pinks and
tender blues. This
one-two rinse
reminds us of something,
if only our own

monkey-see, monkey-do speed-up,
a "call to mimesis,"
now comes from everywhere at once.

and the white flash
from under

of young palms,
a triangle
containing dusk,
a doubled

be redoubled,
is a way of being
one
by being numbered
so as to have not
begun again
oblivious,
in excess
