Be in the Universe

like my mother’s
cousins in the 3 chairs

rocking and twiddling
their thumbs

because that is what
people do there on the farm

Then step in
as far as you can go

until you can see how
everything is made

of tiny shimmering particles
constantly moving

in different positions
all in relation

to each other
never in the same

collective position
impossible to ever be still
