revelation
I wake up in pitch darkness,
move like a proficient robot
through the darkness, out
in the bathroom I switch
on the light, it is five
minutes past six.
it is 6 October,
I have a revelation:
I’m not on board, I’m
still in June, it is
not only the eyes
that adapt more slowly
as years pass, such
paradoxically is
what it is like
to get older and wiser
in sudden fits and starts.
