in the world of blue water…

next time, ignore all the noise of the ferry passage…

More or less…

The blue water spreads my view

from here to the far edges.

An exceptional hugeness,

such a great nothing,

a silent marvel of rhythms,

such expanded absence

of nothing to point at…

Such chilling restraint on my imagination,

and yet I scan, from left to right and back—

it takes a long time to look at

so much of nothing much.
