About Something Else

I write
too much about doors,
about windows,
ponds reflecting trees.
Is this day’s diary?
Have I become a page
flat and two dimensional?

How did atoms begin to dream?
What happened
to open up their eyes,
set their hearts on fire?
Perhaps my pen can tell me
using different ink.
Describe a place
unknown to me,
where I can get acquainted.
