At a Rat's Position


Growling in the sewer light
the dew of the underground mounts the walls
dripping green down and sideways a centimeter
where soiled brick meets mortar.

a frail vista on the open end
seemingly in miniature
is hardly worth mentioning

the rats aren't squalid or foreboding,
they only lie at the intersections of
every smell and sound and taste and sight here
resounding in their skulls
like stones smacked down
upon a go-ban between
two players lost inside
the neatly crossed lines

and their minds placing stones have been reduced to just that,
something like rats smelling and hearing and tasting and seeing
to that place that cannot be other
than those smells and sounds and tastes and sights in that moment

but those senses do not decide their motions
they cascade into each other boundlessly
being purely indistinguishable

the board is blank
until noses and tongues and ears and eyes and minds
resolve themselves along the lines
dividing infinity into perception
