The Wave |
To the academic man, this could be the answer… |
In fact, it’s no more than a hunch |
Still we try to eat it — |
I think we’re all pretty out to lunch |
The wave is out of reach |
Trailing words from the hand |
Only air can understand |
Semaphore on the shoreline |
Waiting for distance to recede, unhappily imperfect |
When we should be happy just to breathe |
But with each bated breath |
So present, tense |
We want to know |
We want it sure |
It don’t make sense! |
So I’ll do mine and you do yours |
But let’s not trade sand and sea |
For brick and cement |
The wave hits the beach, laps around abandoned clothes |
Wants to share a joke with those who’ll brave the breakers |
Who’ll break bread rather than pray |
While the definition-maker's |
Lost in the small print of the day |
The words are only pictures |
That the next wave wipes away |
