Plane & Simple

You could make a symphony
out of the silence, a party
out of all that's not
going on.
Game's over -
not even in overtime.
No one won.
Everyone won.
Nothing to say.
No need
even
for the instant re-play.

Your cell may as well
be on silent
because it has no plans
of ringing.
The arroyo outside your
apartment is dry.
No water
from the watermelon
mountains
today.
You finally got simple.
You finally got past the
why nots
to the more important
whys.

1:38
on the far side of midnight
and nothing in the sky
but white clouds and blue
space
and 737s speeding their way
to someplace
else.
