The error is to see you numerically:
6 legs,2 antennae and (retractable aerial)
the tongue long as a limb. Your folded
wings are a blue sail with black flecks
on the sere-glass ocean of window
punctuation point eyes and furry
garment; you walk, while you see all
or nothing at all. What flitting jolting
chaotic gravitational landing, and more
narrow leaps and loops beyond
aeronautics. How easy to see you
as subatomic, with inner organs
part particle physics and a beautiful
line of algebra, your digestion a
textbook of equations. You flit again
to the window-wood with legs: a delicate
handwriting that walks: illegible almost
erased except for the watercolour petal
of your fin which could not sustain the
scent of a breeze: you tick and throb
drilling delicately for some crumb beyond
my vision, perhaps some wood sap only
available to you for drinking.The sun's
rays do not obliterate you. Do you sweat
and overheat? Rest high flyer I can not look
down on you. We can not touch except
at what level? Fleeting friend, when I leave
the room and return later you will be gone
gone where I do not know, less than a
microscope knows in real terms, that is
in the essentials, the answers.
