Nowhere and Capitalism
Distributing participation medals
Is a protest
Against
Capitalism. Evaluating participation
Via price
Creates value
Through the scheme of competition.
Bubbles wading through water
Complicates this notion-
Air pockets
Gliding over
Like water striders tiptoeing across the Dead Sea
Motions the progress of momentary
Awe-
As bubble spurts
Initiate spontaneous death
It’s reasonable to consider
Their value
As
Both immense and minuscule.
Moment of awe duplicated en-masse
Special in its seconds long inhale and burst
But common
As the ripples
Guiding its essence
To shore.
What distinguishes the middle ground
From its direction
Is the sustainability
Of having nowhere to go
And claiming
To have been there before.
