Sometimes I must contain rivers
greater than my banks
and
I wonder,
just what it would be like to be you.
Limbs moving so,
thought dangling here and here,
and a curl,
tongue licking there
and eye gazing upon scenes
I could never see exactly
the same way.
Within these banks I capture moon
lighting the way
but in the flood
life flows too fast
and grand
for understanding to catch me.
Yet it does,
eventually,
it always does.
Recount to me what it’s like being you
and perhaps
both our banks will expand to hold
a whole lot more of forever.
