Probability Before Pattern

Infinity
Walks on
Tip toes

Sometimes

For now.

If you have access to
Another universe

Collect mirrors.

Put each poem in your mouth.
But don’t be a liar.

The exact present
Is

Subatomic.

Probability before pattern.

And so,

In winter make ghosts,
In spring play in the mud.
