Stochasm

Beyond the beginning,
a gap opens in an unpredictable way:

randomness intercedes between
people, organisms, spaces, times,

plural implies not only distinction
also a chasm propagated on the back

of the great turtle of the sea and land and sky
connecting the shell of every life

to the ambiguous front, back, legs,
sticking out at regular Vitruvian angles

telling the story of the full possible
range of ways there could be 

a new way of seeing unfolding
past paper and before the yawning scene;

boredom is the chronological condition
that follows attention and understanding.
