Is

In the space with zero substance,
a hole without edges or dimensions,
and time had yet to abandon zero,

a thought within the infinite Mind

that held the infinite nothingness

became the everythingness:

the first instant of eternity.

Quarks and quacking ducks,

dust bunnies and swords, dandelions.

Ink and saxophones, bacteria.

Ballerinas, quarterbacks, artichokes.

I woke. I forgot to tell you,

what I dreamt as I slept

until the cat woke me with

a toe bean touch on my cheek.

And I wondered why my dream

was about the architectural

techniques of trap door spiders.
