SIGNIFICANCE

It's not really that
you get what it is—

it's that you understand
what it was,

and you know it
when it's over with.

It's
pure space,

weightless,
soundless rhythms playing

as ripples
across

the surface of gray water;
fortunes

which nobody owns,
decadent processions

of white
and yellow light,

pageants
which admit,

which accept,
which possess

us—and not
the other way around.
