ALWAYS YOU’RE SURPRISED HOW MANY
Seeing that huge cargo ship
if that’s what it’s called
in the Suez Canal
makes you realize how
big a world it is
with all those containers
on board
filled with things
for people.
Like seeing those photos
from above a coal mine
with all those long trains next
to one other
with cars identically filled
with coal heading somewhere that
we don’t think about
sitting there watching our TVs.
You see it out your airplane window when
you’re almost landing at night
at a big city airport when
the view is nothing but lights on in suburban homes
after suburban homes. And streetlights
on and on.
