​This, then, the center of a multi-colored rectangle
pushing against soft spoken boundaries,
strokes that hoist a proverbial smallish white plastic tassel.
Enough to pull back that lint curtain:
Enough to withstand a metallic reptile dialect:
Enough to assume sanity and its antithesis
(insanity):
Enough to fortify the substance of rational thought.
Enough to sleep, to dream, to rest.
Enough, enough.
