ZERO

Up to the sky with a ladder or a tree
to the blue with a pail to the ocean.
Fall from the sky and bob in the water
are opposites and both lazy.

HEART

I put my hand on my chest, and I felt my heart beating, and it was understandable and not at all mysterious. And I didn't have to picture my heart, but if I did, I could, and I think it would fit right in there.

It's easy to use big words like "heart" and "zero" most of the time. You can't always reduce a thing to its complexity.
