It had been a day
of situations bursting,
suddenly, into action:
a group of youths on the playground,
into a game of soccer;
a crew of rowers,
oars into the water;
a flock of starlings,
shooting to flight out of a tree,
a day that had begun
with a lone man in his boat on the river,
waving his arm like a baton.
Had he caused all the above
happen?
