Mutual Drift [Free Verse]

Lying back on the water,
Peering into a cloud,

I shift like driftwood --
rocking and rising,
rolling and dipping.

As I stare at the cloud,
It seems to stare back.

It drifts - suspiciously -
Or maybe I'm drifting
And it is still --

In truth, we're both drifting,
And neither of us has
The mental energy to be
Suspicious.
