The Middle of the Water

Look at the middle of water
Past the highest surface of water where
Waves of determined energy entertain conflicted
See past the tympanic gurgles and the foam
And we’ll look at the middle of water 
Before the heavy plane at the bottom where
Light waves perform unconnected to anything
Don’t let your eyes fall so far to the weighted base
Where everything is more or less decided
Look at the middle of water now
To its undetermined depth to see
If it will tell us anything, something
About the meaning so fluid
Look at the middle of water
