A man is a rock in a garden of chairs and waits <br />for a longtime to be over. <br /> <br /> It is easier for a rock in a garden than a man <br />inside his mother. He decided to be a rock when <br />he got outside. <br /> <br /> A rock asks only what is a rock. <br /> <br /> A rock waits to be a rock. <br /> <br /> A rock is a longtime waiting for a longtime to be <br />over so that it may turn and go the other way. <br /> <br /> A rock awakens into a man. A man looks. A man sleeps <br />back into a rock as it is better for a rock in a <br />garden than a man inside himself trembling in red <br />darkness.<br /><br />Russell Edson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-man-rock/
