Things that don’t distract:

Kindness. Words
on a page

or otherwise, lines
of any type,

(they all lead
somewhere,

which is what
we don’t want,)

although we do.
Liquids help:

the way the rain
melts down

the window,
the calamity

of the lake,
each wave

consumed
while it builds,

cold comfort
going, gone

again.
