An Other World


“Is there an other world,” the daisy asked,
 
“that lies beyond what I can see?

 I nod my head and dance to the sun

 but really, all I can see is me.

 I don’t exist because of who I am,

 I exist because you named me:

 if you weren’t here, if I wasn’t there

 then where would I be?”

 

“That other place,” the fog replied

 as it slithered across the skin,

 seeped into every grassy hair,

 fed tables that lay within.

“That other place where no one goes,

 where no one’s been before

 except, of course, for these and those

 and the ones in between less and more.”

 

“Can I visit them?” the daisy asked,

 as she sang her little song.

“Don’t hurry God,” the fog replied,

“He’ll send you there ere long.”
