The string section.

 I keep having the same funny dream—

I’m trying to grab a giant pearl

In the ocean but it’s greased and the waves rock against

My will. And I’m just dreaming, anyway.


It becomes a kite. And I wash my hands.

Down from ten I count to zero,

Each blue ribbon tied to the string,


And each spindrift of sunny daylight

And more strings. Even stuck against solid things.


I am no longer looking ahead or behind.
