Mars selfie

According to NASA MSL, “this view results from the first observation of a target selected autonomously by a spacecraft on Mars” (i.e., NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity). Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Cornell University
I sit in the sandbox
with the Matchbox car city
run by ants,
my fingers tracing a rille
void of lava or water or ice
through the main parking lot.
Though you may not see it,
this touch
means loss of separation
with the finite.
You can try
to stop me,
but I am already
ignoring
the obvious
limitations
including stones
and air
have connected
with everything
have become
a sinuous river
meandering through
valleys and lechs
past my allotted time.
