Stray (un)poem 1

Swim across this strip of sea.

After all, what separates us
is brief as an eyelash–
only continent, only colour,
only language,

and a zone marked
by the thin, thin fingers
of a clock.

  2. Strangely enough, it is “only”. We make such a big deal of these onlys, I’m guilty too.

    @OJ: Yes, me too. More than I like.
