1677
Meditating
In the woods
On the end of Manhattan
On the hum
Of the calculator
And the way the paper
Comes flying out
Into a new world
It numbers
One step
At a time
Suddenly I'm flooded
By the need to be close
To my people
To lift a skirt of course
But also to listen
For some quiet also
A part per million
Of where I'm from
Here
Here
And here
The point of everything
Has a bird on it
The light of day
Has a point
