Words Arranged As Though They Mean Something

Poems are words arranged as though they meant something.

something just out of your reach,

something sliding by beneath the surface,

something that could jump up to reveal,

that the past is always swimming along just out of sight,

occasionally porpoising around you in sudden schools of

sleek gray bodies, glistening in the sun.

Just as you remembered them.

Or thought you did.
