8 Lines
for Steve Reich

His is a country which will not be high.
Slight scenery repeats: a single line,
defining levels details underlie.
Sound seen in other light: an anodyne
to motion-blindness, heightened states—
as if its pointfulness were riverine,
to flow but not to go—it iterates
the question, where? until the final why?
