if I were where I ought to be

what else of myself would


I have lost in getting there and have this

to anticipate others in their graces...


that we would steam and rebel

be too damaged to be reassembled now...


but more likely a safe bet among old people

sitting watching dots on a far horizon...


and the dots looking back and imagining the shore

where I ought to be...or am....
