Thought Channels

Thought’s landscape — how it changes

         how the current rearranges

                 deepens here, deposits there

                      accenting flows, directing rivulets

Thought follows patterns

        in its swift recursions

                 pushing at the rock

                    wearing deeper channels

           As it flows swifter

                it may push

                   over formerly dry edges

                     trip itself, dislodging stones

             fall into a new course

which then in mounting rushes

      it can follow

            And the force of it

                    occasions new attention

                                And the joy of it

                                    invokes a new dimension

                              And the pulse of it

               thunders the perfection

of another way to think and feel

          another thing

                    now known as real.
