Room reverb

Today I befriended time.
Let it pass over me all day.
I watched the sun rise from my east-facing window and then watched its reflection set in the buildings downtown. I am underwater singing like a whale.

The air in the nighttime is heavy
with silence at first, then with beating of hearts; with whispers of breath released from the trees and the Yes to the breath of life from the death of dark
and I am underwater singing like a whale. The captain of the chaos squad is dancing in my mind
with euphemistic violent petty crimes, rocket ships
and land mines.

Today I befriended time
I sat in my room all day,
and I have thoughts to burn,
I have things to say.
I am underwater singing like a whale.
