4397. NOT YET MET

NOT YET MET
Having never yet met the man I
aimed to be, I am that sculptor's
castaway marble. The carved slab
of an unfinished motion  -  that fellow
with the chisel and the hammer, looking
on, he regards my unfinished motion 
as frozen and done.
-
Mid-stream, freeze-frame, a cutaway
action shortened by foreclosure : Time,
on its highway of entry ramps and exits
and endings, has its truck just waiting to
cart these things away.
