Rescue

 

In this story the boy never was.

Says, and yesterday and yesterday.

 

It was a time when the whole world

could fit into a hollow belly.

 

There were strong winds and at least

one fearful sea.

 

The roundness of everything was

too perfect to be a boat.

 

Nevertheless, a boat.

And later?  I haven’t seen anyone

 

to speak or disagree.

The water is full of impossible things.
