WORK IN PROGRESS
“By thinking about the singular as the singular (i.e., an irreducible this), we find the passage to the divine origin from which its incontrovertible onceness is derived.” Takeshi Morisato, Faith and Reason, 185.
I almost tripped o-
ver it. High summer’s mirror,
empty, leaning there,
a motorcycle,
cold metal, dreamed in light of
the road ahead. Some-
one’s, now away from
it, maybe watching me look
at myself in it
and finding nothing
beyond the beauty of the
bike, his pride and joy.
