for Al Attanasio
from their self-portraits
individual droplets
comprising a much larger wave
creatures of a greater dynamic
whose crest disappears when examined
whose crest disappears when examined
the waves of a myriad individuals
so long as they do not interfere
what breaks down
what breaks down
into a higher order
the reduced forms who peer
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
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
salt to sparks
sparks to salt
