how then is one to be great
on time's scale
or only humanity's
what is it that can be said for all ages —or all men?
survival is the statement
offspring,
life its clamor
funny, the stir-stick of this desire
for lasting
which
no, who
sets man's mind in motion
though it springs eternal
few are we who echo
whole lakes dry in desertion
to be the centuries' fodder
and to know it
no man the text himself
only context
for canon's mouth
its thirst
what is due
of morning's dew
not to mourn that day
but love his sun and source
to dance his evaporation
man is not captain
but course
