View From My Window
Wet
Who, unlike the fish, would
know where to swim besides
the ocean? The sky
is a big blue bowl of something
close to water, but not quite-
and when I reach out to touch
it I feel only air.
My head is spinning with the lack
of oxygen; I can't seem to stop
myself from getting wet. There
is a boat on the water; it has been
sitting there, motionless for a long time
as if it's trying to call back the
great white shark.
