The Jupiter Perspective
If you could see these lines
in three dimensions
you would see the space
between thoughts composed
in thick air and hung out to dry.
You would see my drafts hanging
like post-it notes on branches,
sunlight charming life or burning
them to illegible crisps and
discarded from the harvest.
Comprehension requires four.
Meaning may need an effort.
You have to juggle perspective
in space and time to see
the small things are big. Huge
like a morning star. Like Jupiter.
