The Meridian
What can I bring to the meridian?
My feet won’t last long in these shoes
Saw a carpet stain that looked like you
Maybe, someday -
a soft covering for my knees
So I can crawl across that line
I have a leather wallet
Engraved with strange initials
I’m sure it’s fine
My skin has a stench and I cannot hide
See me or don’t,
But I don’t want to keep score
My book bag grows heavy
Without understanding
Waiting for something to
Wring out my pores
I would float in this puddle
In a paper boat
If It meant I could see the bottom
It must exist
The gray sky up top
Tells me that gray is many
Tells me that time is plenty
Tells me that I am heavy
Where can I go with these shoes?
What can I bring to the meridian?
I must remove my jacket at least
