hill walking in too many clothes
I chose to ask the sun
just what he meant
by shining
and if he knew
how many revolutions
we’d go through
before we’re done
and furthermore
did he know
which celestial sphere
reigned over him
any inkling?
just asking
I have been forced by illness
to ask these idiotic things
I lost a sweater
and felt no better
he soon went in
and darkness again
prevailed
