to be idle...

to be idle
what does it take?
what does it take, but to cease

cease the push
cease the verbs and adverbs
cease being driven by plot

to be idle
what it takes is
right here
right here, with eyes not blurred
and ears not dimmed
dulled by the commotion that snatches up truth

to float here un-navigated
drifted only by the breeze
the breeze of this august morning
silent and still, in the absolute
absolute promise of this moment

to be idle is
just
this
knowing
