ULTIMIST

The October sky 
is neither 

full,
nor empty—

The October sky is a huge 
and blue

eye—
scratched-up here 

and there 
around the sides by 

a few harmless 
contrails; and the meaningless white 

iris of a sun isn't really 
looking at things

so much as just—
picturing them. Can't you

just see that? Or 
at least—

no, never-
mind.
