Pay attention to that which is closer to you then the watch on your wrist or the strips of nylon criss-crossing your shoes.

Sit quietly and gently with

the jug of clean water,

the hissing cigarette,

the small, green plant

and recall that you are the fronds,
the stalk,
the roots,
and the sweet dirt

softly singing decomposition hosannas to

a stranger
sitting
next2you.
