As If About a Painting
.
takes many steps to top this mountain
as if Olympus
a prickly pine’s upon one nub
as if Zeus
pagoda house shed
as if Many Mansions
sky sun red some blue
as if Noon
some on steps are climbing
as if To move
calligraphy top right
as if A thought balloon
each stone makes this mountain higher
as if No problem nihil est
as if
A scene of sheer improbable
as if
It’s just imagination I guess
