Quantum Leaping
It’s really up in the air and there’s no
good way of pulling it down. You’d
think that the
rain might help. Storms, like history,
only make it worse. The birds don’t
have much use for us.
It’s a cloud! It’s a swarm! It’s a mauve
vapor trail! Anyone moment millions
of people sit
uncomfortably miles high in the sky.
They wait to leave, to arrive, to turn
around & go back.
Seems like this should be a metaphor
for modern life, or an omen pointing
out some stark
future. It’s not. Folks instinctively know
distances have shrunken; that no one
really goes anywhere.
