TO THE BLUE SKY—

how is it 
you remain 
so light 

and wide and 
gaping 
all the time? 

Always exposed; 
always 
so susceptible 

to the slightest 
perturbations 

and super-
saturation with 
Earthly imposters?

Unlike you, I'd
make a poor 
open sore: 

I'm too often 
oppressed 

by the absence 
of low pressure;

I too
quickly grow 
uncomfortable 

with my own lack 
of obscurity.
