A Poem About An Orchestra Conductor

Damn
if only I were
an orchestra conductor
I could wave a baton
around and pretend
I were a part of the
universe for once-
glorious, a flower
opening, the crease
in a page.

But I am a lowly
poet
who knows only her
art,
as important as writing may
be;
a poet has
a much loftier
purpose.
