I’ve done a demonstration
where I head directly
across the lake
to the market and meet Mike
who I haven’t seen
in ages
he was sort of living on a commune
but last fall
bought a house by the river
he’s happy
now he’s trying to
commercialize that as well
he has company
what kind of company
I don’t know exactly
sometimes
he really listens
and sometimes
it’s almost like
all talk
is an insubstantial
flurry
I relace my boots
and head back out
it’s almost like
to cross the lake
you’ve got to make each step
pertain to water
