63

This is where		the sun
misses the		water
with the		directness
of its		rays
No writing		where
it hits		the water,
just a blank-		et of light.
		and some early morning seagulls

None of this is true of course,
The sun hits every visible
square inch -- every visible visible inch.
though it seems to strike only the center
It's only as it seems,
Nothing to do with the truth.
It's only the "seems" that shows.
