I take a sip
from an old jelly jar
strawberries once lived here
I wonder where they are now
how deep is this hole
and what stories to tell
if your prisms could talk
would they tell me your secrets
would they talk your sweet talk
I'm out in the woods now
I construct rock piles
and place them all over the stream
for the robots to unearth
while our sleep constructs
an artificial dream
I wish you could see
what it is I see
but your sensors fried
you've now only the moment
before it's gone and died
overwritten by the onset
of the ever present moment
once I nearly touched
the elusive in-between
