In the Zone

In the Zone 

Outside the city

Beyond the outskirts

A place no one goes who is not pursued

Gas masks and suspicion accompany those who do not belong
Pushing past perspective

Far beyond all known referents

Outside of time,
Shot through with space

My home
Away from shores of thought

Past breakers of tradition

A boat made of stillness

Here I can rest

I post a new poem every waning quarter moon.
