New Continents
So much business, busy-ness
getting and spending
making and consuming
accumulating and dispersing
For the pleasure in it
the pleasure only
pleasure in purpose
for the purposeful
idleness for the indolent
In the interstices
in the wasted spaces
pleasure, if pleasant
in survival, existence
continuation of pain
indicative of life
And along the waterfront
across the interface
points of contact
tectonic boundaries
slipping smoothly
or catastrophic leaps
earthquakes of interaction
one plate lifts
one descends
new continents
