| 13 | | While [swimming in the river][] | ||
| 14 | | I saw [underneath it a river][] | ||
| 15 | | of stars. Only there was no | ||
| 16 | | river: it was noon. You can | ||
| 17 | | say the sun is a river; you | ||
| 18 | | can argue the stars back it | ||
| 19 | | like [shirts behind a closet][] | ||
| 20 | | door; you can say [the earth][] | ||
| 21 | | holds us up with its weight | ||
| 22 | | or that it means well or it | ||
| 23 | | means anything. | ||
| 24 | | There is no | ||
| 25 | | closet, [nor door][]; there are | ||
| 26 | | no shirts hanging anywhere. | ||
| 27 | | There is no false wall that | ||
| 28 | | leads deep into the earth's | ||
| 29 | | bowels, [growing warmer][] with | ||
| 30 | | each step. Warmth as a con- | ||
| 31 | | cept has ceased to make any | ||
| 32 | | sense. In contraposition to | ||
| 33 | | cold, it might, but cold as | ||
| 34 | | well [stepped out][] last night | ||
| 35 | | and hasn't returned. | ||
| 36 | | Last I | ||
| 37 | | heard, it went out swimming | ||
| 38 | | and [might've drowned][]. Trees | ||
| 39 | | were the pallbearers at the | ||
| 40 | | funeral, the train was long | ||
| 41 | | and wailful, there was much | ||
| 42 | | [wailing and gnashing][] of all | ||
| 43 | | teeth--though there were no | ||
| 44 | | teeth, no train, no funeral | ||
| 45 | | or prayer or trees at all-- | ||
| 46 | | nor a [river underneath][] any- | ||
| 47 | | thing. There was nothing to | ||
| 48 | | be underneath anymore. | ||
| 49 | | Look | ||
| 50 | | around, and tell me you see | ||
| 51 | | something. Look around, and | ||
| 52 | | tell me something that I do | ||
| 53 | | not know. I know, more than | ||
| 54 | | anything, that the world is | ||
| 55 | | always ending. Behind that, | ||
| 56 | | there is nothing, save that | ||
| 57 | | there is no nothing either. | ||
| 58 | | | ||
| 59 | | Nothing somehow still turns | ||
| 60 | | and flows past us, past all | ||
| 61 | | time and beyond it, a river | ||
| 62 | | returning, to its forgotten | ||
| 63 | | origins deep within itself. | ||
