bottle.

oh my friends
                      oh my imperfect fools
who don't even know you're on a boat.
   ain't each of you a world in a bottle?
for the sake the wind
that blows across my knees, and under your shirt
       let us sip each other slowly
in the shadow of the chain-link fence
let us stand under the chestnut trees, now greening
    let us pebble the sidewalk
          like the nuts and fallen flowers
and cool ourselves on each others depths.
