Peregrinations in a Small Space

           the room journey allows
            the self to pass by objects
            in an orderly sequence whose
            decided goal is to reveal
            an unknown world...
                  Traveling in Place by Bernd Stiegler & Peter Filkins

pebbles marked by travel
and washed in the Pacific Ocean
slide through my fingers,
waves flatten the sand before retreating
while sneaker waves approach
unannounced mimicking
the way events slip into a day
