[mousepod]

She spun her car into a field
& through a hole in the windshield
she saw the marvellous revealed
in the everyday.

She saw far out into space
through the sockets in her face.
She saw everything in place
& nothing in her way.

She saw the thinness of a dime,
saw a slug secreting slime,
as if for the first time.
Purified by flame,
nothing had a name,
nothing looked the same.

She'd come so far so fast
but she could not outpace her past,
it had caught up with her at last.

Others looked but never saw
the glory apprehended raw
down to the smallest flaw
in the grand design.
