do you gasp
and pray
as some tangible
evidence of
some intangible
reality limps by,
but quickly
limping, in a flash
a puff of awareness
gone
as long
as you gasp
and pray
an awareness
deeper than your own
was watchful,
wakened from
whatever cell
you placed it in?

who cares?

well,
i must admit,
i do.
and you,
do you
care,
not enough
or just too much,
that before you
and beside you
and behind you
is always
another
way.
