Mere
people wait
for miles
to stand
at the foot
of a mountain
and take a puff
and look around
a tree
find its leaves
in light
they sit at streams
and stack pebbles
and pretend
as the faucet runs
without a handle
down the fall
making bubbles
that spill over
the side
and when
they get back
to concrete things
like clothes
and shoes
and handles
that turn
hot to cold
they look around
