On the street,
wan light beginning
to seep
through stained-
glass at evening vespers—
is enough
to de-confound the fogged
and profoundly
time-logged mind.
Where time unteathers, no longer
is measured,
all at once, cascading like water from a shower:
mounds of shimmering questions
linger,
remain unanswered;
and there, in the dark
and cornerless mind
of the newest
recruit of Quixote's—
the daylight fights proudly,
each old thought is new again, like
every single redundant moment,
heroically endeavoring
never to end.
