There are things you can’t reach. But<br />You can reach out to them, and all day long.<br /><br />The wind, the bird flying away. The idea of god.<br /><br />And it can keep you busy as anything else, and happier.<br /><br />I look; morning to night I am never done with looking.<br /><br />Looking I mean not just standing around, but standing around<br />As though with your arms open.
