poetry is the water under my feet
as I lightly step upon
the surface
of its deep terrain

It is the water
supporting my weight;
words won't let me
sink

The crazy part
is the fact that
I'm not weightless.
I'm not a waterbug
skittering across infinite hydrogen bonds.

And I walk along the surface tension
like I have never been tense;
I feel all the ripples below
but I cannot be influenced.

I am walking on water
and therefore

I must be God.
