Cascadilla Falls, Archie Randolph Ammons, 1926-2001 I went down by Cascadilla Falls this evening, the stream below the falls, and picked up a handsized stone kidney-shaped, testicular and thought all its motions into it, the 800 mph earth spin, the 190-million-mile yearly displacement around the sun, the overriding grand haul of the galaxy w/ the 30,000 mph of where the sun's going : thought all the interweaving motions into myself : dropped the stone to dead rest : the stream from other motions broke rushing over it : shelterless, I turned to the sky and stood still : oh I do not know where i am going that I can live my life by this single creek.
