this otherness

orbital, this dense metal cornea
moving at velocity, around the planet
never the same, but it comes, again and again,
like a spaniel jumping in vain at a helium balloon gently bobbing on its' owners

duffled arm

my orbital objects, this mental retina
and this,
abject space in my head

is this otherness
