where I want to be

a mosque
a mosquito
a mountain
a molecule
an Earth
an electron
a quasar
a quark
a galaxy
gravity
an infinite greatness
an infinite smallness

where lies
the perfect size
the silver mean
the in-between?

a baby orangutan
in her mother's arms
a fireman pulling
a child from harm

a ninety-year old man
driving a thirty year old van
a future President
humming the soundtrack
to "Stop Making Sense"

the middle, the median
a modicuum of perfection
the thing that we search
the things that we learn

in the realm of sentient beings
a greater Home
suspended in wavy grace
a myth, a poem
