Swimming To Fukushima

 

The ripples in the water…

the ripples on peoples´ faces

show the flow in their minds…

…the show is the flow of events

that lead into the next events

in an endless succession

of events

that seem to change

but, somehow long to

come around again

to all familiar ways of being

all familiar ways of seeing…

and it´s not ever seen as

a process.

They want it to be a thing.

They want the ripples to be

monuments, institutions,

really existing things, like,

a religion that knows the truth

for certain…a philosophy that

perfectly describes reality…

a pattern of behavior that

assures life will have meaning.

Not enough floating downstream.
