Taking Up Space

Sunday, June 25th, 1995
        my index finger meets the intersection of three planes
        trace the edge as i would trace your spine
        slip my hands around cool leaden sides
        hugging the grey solid secure

        collapse the third dimension
        fall trapped inside the square
        explore horizons with flat fingers

        fold the second dimension
        balance along the grey line
        until it turns
                        widens
                                curves into white
        ceramic lip around my coffee

        i slip

        and pause to choose to fall
        inside -- kersplash --
        or out into the all
        choose both
        refuse either/or
        and drink deeply
