So much goes on without you,
at least the part you call you.

You are not, after all, the measure
of all things, pivoting there

through your own procedures, modus operandi,
driver's manual to the stars.

Only I know how two bubbles
join with a third rejoicing voice.

You could have willed dark
and the light would have continued.

Even as the body and spirit geometrize
music, sinking their charts deep

in the DNA, I am absorbed, creating
what will come out of you.
