The Perfect Place

The world is the perfect place to be born into.

Unless of course, you don’t like people

or trees, or stars, or baguettes.

Its secret is movement.

As soon as you have stepped back

to admire the scenery

or opened your mouth

to sing its praises

it has changed places with itself.

Infinitesimally, perhaps,

but those infinitesimals add up.

(About the baguettes,

that was just me being silly.)
