Some Borders Should Not Be Crossed

Lifting my head 
above a wall
to peek at a Drive In Movie, 
I grab a wire,
                               discovering
pain in my fist.

As I crawl under a fence
to visit cows, my 
                                   consciousness 
is pushed down
through the top of my head,
the pasture forced 
into a dream.

From an ink brush,
the Zen master draws
the paper’s
	              electricity, 
but we only see 
his blank eyes
as he pushes through.

We only hear the rip.
