WAVES OF TIME
You know this sea is not wet.
Beneath these waves is life of imagination,
an inclination to think of gigantic mammals
that call crying, gliding in liquid darkness,
tiny creeping lives that hide in shells,
schools of silver and hells of hunting jagged teeth
and fins of fear.
But, those are not really here,
in the swells, foam and folds flashing up and down.
No, these are waves of time, designed repetition.
What is real in this sea, the landscape of what we see,
is math.
This path of numbers becomes waves of illusion
in heavens of elevens never severed
from codes of zeros or heroes.
The numbers flash ephemeral and slip away like seconds,
seasons and centuries to reveal what is real.
But, oceans of emotion color how we decide
to add up or detract in the way we act.
