a mud spattered eye glass
with a clear vision of
where it is that we are
not going tomorrow
so we wash it off and
the smudged up glass
makes it a little bit
clearer with regard to
the obvious path that
we are not going on
after today but all in
all it is okay, and…
…it means nothing

Traditional Wind Drinking Vessel, called Kantsi
