Context

One
It's still this world
with its leaves unfurling
its fields, patched and waving
the paved arteries moving quick with millions
the things getting done
water levelling, dust settling
Night and Day at once, both married
to gravity and time

Two
It's is Night somewhere
It is Day here
I am still in my pajamas
with my coffee.  The Spring light is radiant.
A girl snaps awake now outside
as the truck hits a pothole
Her only home is her body,
its fragile limbs and memories jarred
with each rattle and bump.
But she is moving forward.

Three
The sphere is contained
as it is surrounded.  Space becomes the second thing,
the Earth again one.
And the third then is far away.
If far or away apply.
The second always implies the third.
The third becomes the one.
