If you just happen to look up
at the sky
on any given day,
preferably
on a sleepy summer’s Mayan-blue day
will you notice how unimaginably white the clouds are
when your eyes meet,
above the coronation arcades of pine
bowing to a forlorn wind,
above pencil poles where
pigeons gather and hold court, defending their pigeon-lives
under a cacophony of coos,
above the seven-gabled houses painted like ladies
in their Easter Sunday best?
do you ever get the feeling that the world
is really two-dimensional, quite flat,
a flatbread of Eastern descent,
a canvas being painted by an unknown hand?
did you ever get the feeling
that the roundness comes
with every breath the artist takes?
