A Numerate
Each night I pass me like an arrow:
creating an Ouija infinitum,
leaving memories like old songs.
I disintegrate and reform:
drawing transparencies of the sky,
shifting like the sand dunes,
struggling like wind lost in the canyons.
I long to be launched in rockets
to look back at our smallness.
I long to magnify distances
to feel the separation.
I iron my history, and add creases,
buttons , zips and pockets
to suit latest fashions.
I'm the trendsetter.
I create zero gravity, scratch
the ocean floor, design
company logos with nanotechnology.
I'm a moral scavenger.
I pump blood for the MNCs,
conniving with law whores
and government policies.
I'm not us, a numerate
waiting for my arrival.

"a numerate waiting for my arrival" - wonderful countertension between the perceptions of our anonymity "here" and YET the knowledge that we are designed to be known, named and cherished as unique and precious in the bigger picture.
"I iron my history, and add creases,
buttons , zips and pockets

I'm the trendsetter." BRILLIANT!! :)) TY K xx

We are but a smallness in this universe a speck amongst the seas of people.. Tis is a powerful poem with many thought provoking lines of examination... To consider.
Light & peace,
