THE OTHER VOICES

for Al Attanasio

 the mirror-people escaped 
from their self-portraits

   individual droplets 
comprising a much larger wave

   creatures of a greater dynamic
whose crest disappears when examined

  the waves of a myriad individuals 
so long as they do not interfere

what breaks down 
into a higher order
 

   the reduced forms who peer
 over  their own event horizon

growing into a greater array
   to look back from whence they came

  broken down from an ionic compound 
and reconstructed by electrostatic forces

  the electrically insulated beings 
of a highly conductive experience

  the few freed electrons of a greater surge 
that made it through the slit

salt to sparks
   sparks to salt
