Like sudden-
ly
and desperately—
grabbing
quick hold of
and split-
finger hurling
a handful
of its heretofore in-
divisible
and illimitable
packets of
clean and invisible light
straight back—
into the pocket
of whatever far-
off
and silent star—
nothing on earth!
could be farther
from what is legal—not to mention
less understandable.
Because—let's face it
to truly apprehend something,
anything
at all—
you have to be able
to pick it up.
