Wavy Cap

Psilocybe cyanescens


Imagine time as a wave.
I don't mean like some illustrations

in our physics books,
the universe some kind of net,

a grid with a hollow like a hammock
when someone is lying in it, one

of many in a gym or a stadium
waiting out a storm.

No, I want to imagine
time as a wave made of the tiniest particles

moving both forward and backward—
A train pulling in and out of stations

from early morning till night, running on
this idea that something carries us

even if we can't always read the signs
flickering in hallways.
