Elementary (or: I cannot even see my comfort zone from here)

The poems

Elementary (or: I cannot even see my comfort zone from here)

Stalwartly substantial, uncaptured by the wave

Solidly unwavering, decoded by the source

Pixelating. Breaking the current with

chunks of why

lumps of how

 

Elementary, this is not my element,

I am out of it

Elementary, I am neither fluid

nor transparent

Blue nor purple: I am white

I am noise

Static electricity in waves of fear

 

But this is where I need to go

to learn

to swim
