the dragonfly is still, and I wonder whether it's dead, and further wonder whether anyone has thought that of me

POEM: Moving Stillness: or, Stillness in Motion
I stare at the flowing river, and, for a moment, it seems still, as the world whips into a wild ride of vertigo, leading me to question all I believe about the still & the moving. Everything that's still is spinning, orbiting, and expanding Everyone who's still is a seven-jetted space monkey on a rocket ride.

POEM: Sitting Beside a River
to sit beside a river
is to be Still
amid a moving world
a sweet break
from being that which moves
through the world
