Which is Which
Which of the pale shining gem stars of the night sky
is like one of the human "stars" celebrated
by those totally committed to success
in the mad, converging stampedes--
like rivulets racing into a bog?
Which of the waves that lap shores?
Which of the fish of seas, of the birds in flight?
And which of the pale shining gem stars of night,
& which of the waves, fish, birds,
is like one of the true leaders of humanity
performing miracles in plain sight,
overlooked by everyone who is rushing
to make their claim to a share of what's dying?
And who are those true leaders leading--
& into what?
