A Hammock and Me and Time
a hammock and me and a couple of years:
a time when I could
fall
and
become
enveloped and rocked
back
and
forth
and
not
become a
cocoon and
not
become a pea,
but just become six.
a hammock and me and
a couple of more years:
a time when I could
fall
and
become
an inch closer to the
ground and
not
be a
purchased item
within
a plastic bag swinging
back
and
forth
or
something
to be
morphed
into, but just sixteen.
a hammock and me and
many more couple of years:
is a time when I could
fall
and
really fall
to the
ground
and
not
become a
twenty-one-year-old,
but instead something more like:
a
cocoon,
a
pea,
a purchased-
item
within
a
plastic
bag swinging back and
forth, or something to
be morphed into.
