AT ONCE



You are on a road but at every point
Simultaneously. You are singing
Beneath a clear sky while sheltering
Under insufficient trees from sleety rain
You are being robbed. You have become
A robber, the newest member of the band
And their aged captain as well. You are eating
At dozens of inns, at farmhouses, in fields.
You’re hungry and the next meal
Is days away. Your dreams are all happening
Right now and vagrants have set up shelters
In their bright alleys and ruined courts.
