Plain Remarks
June 09, 2021
That matter has a property; that earth contains it
A force, a draw down; just enough – like Goldilocks
Discovering her porrage:
Is commonplace; the stuff of common knowledge
It’s as if the nations carry magnets on their heels
As if a block of iron in a sticky tar congeals
Pick up your feet; put down; the muscles carry them
Their motions made permission of Lord’s gravity
Then’s water; the porter of our bloods; our best commodity
Oceans-full waving, turning, in replete ubiquity
A clear drink from the freshets; ambling country streams
Cleaned by the mountains, and by caverns’ kindly means
Simple in structure; formula of two gas bonds
And running finds its levels; tasteless, but, so sweet!
A sip cold and clear, is dear, when on a sunburnt day
The body defrays refreshment at the tongue’s allay
Marvellous fluid; miracle of cloud drops, everyday
Parcelled by nature; a life-dependency, which saves
Just so: as if one never noted its provision
So obviously oblivious in its special way
Brave health creative elementary maintenance.
Nor think we on long orbits harvesting the sun
Nor circulatory moons above, around the planets
This ball of earth spin-captured in a closed
Composure
Around, around; no sound; no cause for public panic
This wheel is ever rolling as we sleep and sup
A globule carried magically; swung as if in a cup
And life goes on neglectful and unhindered
The basal things of life go on, go on, and unattended
The rare exquisite air piled up, goes columned into space
Its attraction to impaction on the ground goes prima face
No marvel: we all gargle on it most deliciously
It’s just the right complexion of the right variety
Mixed gasses’ masses held; a jar of breathing liquor
So luckily just had to be appointed here…...
Were windows into heaven’s heights the staple, every eye
Would daily see but not see; so familiarly -
What door pulls open conference on Deity?
