Oceans

If you could make
say
an ocean,
you would. Would you not
make it an ocean...
say a better one, a better ocean
than the other ones
that you and I and the other people
have known to be real,
in the largest of areas of visible water,
in the eye cast of any shore side standers
from whatever viewing point... on out
into the grand hugeness of a person
say, your size
and his dumb struck mind
and beyond the beyond
of any and all of the limits
anyone can imagine or see from
the land, if you truly could
say
make an ocean, you couldn't
show it, but you could really think
it all up, you know...
like you and I are doing here,
and then talk
about it, say, like I am
now. Right?
and that's something isn't it?
