The Concept: Reality

The Concept: Reality

Somewhere down
the river’s flow,
we lose the name,
and yet—

we are drawn
to the banks
of was and will.

The river lives:
a mass equation—
the Equals Sign?

The river lives:
the line on the map
drawn by banks.

The physical
provides the proof
that some dispute.

Is the river the water
or the banks that
hold it in place?

Or is reality
the force He
leaves unseen?

         Those other realms,
         will come one day
         and they will tell

         that was and will
         are just not real,
         and can be breached.

And we will learn
the Equals Sign—
while justice flows.

Somewhere down
the river’s flow,
we lose our name—
and still . . .

we are drawn
to the banks
of was and will.

                     tossed by the fingertips of "that I am."
