Hopper's Light At Two Lights
The busy sky goes by mindless, eluding
my measure, ruler, scale, my reach
& grasp--It keeps its mystery (mindless
because it keeps out my mind)

The lazy sky is sleepy, like a bear
yawning a protest to impertinence,
that at last finally falls back to th'resignation
of my mind at its scratch.
