The Drifter

How does one reach out and touch
The drifter?
The rubber duck floating in the water
Has no internal direction
Pushed by the wind
Propelled by the current
Knocked by the rock
Captured by the hawk
It lands only where external forces
Maneuver it
But a live duck
Will move against the current
Swim
Dive
Fly
The sky will fill with ducks
Following the schedule of life
But the drifter
The little rubber duck
Is earthbound
With no connection to another
