Water is absolutely clear,
if it's been filtered.
And Lucite is,
until it's been scratched through use.
Glass, I must say, is clear,
and so cleanable,
so satisfyingly clean
to use for storing food.
Plastic lacks that clean feeling.
Plastic retains the memory
of what was previously stored in it.
No, plastic can't replace
the clarity of glass.
Such beating about the bush.
What's absolutely clear
is the shifting and changing and rearranging,
the steps forward and back, the new attack,
the words without saying, the new ways of praying,
the chanting and toning, the sense of no lack.
What's clear to me now,
not muddled or fuddled or foggy,
no longer hazy or smudgy or smoggy,
is simply what's here.
It's clear.
