Waltzing Who

Poems have hidden agendas
are double agents.

Out of sight, underfoot,
a worm works a garden rich.

Overhead, fantasies fly;
nature's witches on forbidden sticks.

The simple motion of shifting weight
one foot to the next,
the mind adroitly simulates.

The foreshortening of day, the elongation of night;
a thought misplaced turns up some other place...
Divining rod, Matilda's tricky boomerang
