Morning

To wake up is weird.

A clone of yourself,

you don’t know where

you went, when you weren’t here.

It looks like nowhere.

The night’s storm of memories,

hex of dreams, has lifted.

A shower rinses you clean

again—good to go

on to the next night of memories, dreams.

Their interventions.

Moving on is more and more

like trying to reach an invented

somewhere you’ve already been.

To be there better than before.

You rush to catch your only bus

wishing you could enter the blue

day like a vast meterological

disturbance. But you do not pass

through life, it passes through you

the way the night passed

through on its way to who

knows where. And though it looks

like it has just come around,

that sun was already there.
