Imagine that

Playing
with our diver's bell
coffee maker:
So easy to see it as the diver's bell it is
and to imagine a treasure at the bottom of the sea
and neon fish swimming about
a cup of golden coffee
and the vital air coming down through hoses
providing the breaths extraordinaire in an airless world
and the juice powering the venture;
the connexions
gaskets sealed,
protected;
Or,
a spring to keep the cord from
being disconnected with too sharp a twist
how like our daily need from heaven
the ship floating above us
we need the electrics and airs
to reach us and unscathed
unabashed:
We pray.
