Visualization can
be important to one's advancement in a large company, especially the
ability to see clothing on naked emperors.
Commuter Queries the Sun
My trusty train
hauls me orangeward
from this 5 o'clock
plastic city into
an on-time sunset.
Fried-egg friend,
over easy
in the wispy west,
innerly whisper me
what you are.
A star?
Yes, but are
you a you
or merely a major it?
May I commune
with you in
the hollow of
my heart?
Dissolve shallow
knowledge?
Understand you?
Humbly may I harvest
your richer spectrum
than my life
in the office
offers?
If I knew you,
would I be you?
To reach your light
must I groan with long
effort and escalation?
Or simply relax with
easy exhalation?
Unanswering,
you fold
the shimmering cloudy
whites around your
blazing yolk and
drop away.
Breath of good night
is felt below
my horizon.
Suddenly I see
you shooting aloft
for thirty seconds
a brilliant vertical
shaft of orange
as if to acknowledge
we know we know
each other.
My train trundles on.
