On This Basis

Sometimes you look out from

behind the rock to see

what’s going on.

Turns out it’s not much different.

You whiff the scent

and find it just as fine

out in this unaccustomed air

as it had been back there.

Nice, you find both fine.

It seems to me that on this basis

we can say what’s mine is yours,

what’s yours is mine.
