observe and report

how in the morning,they shift furniture out into the street
at night,it goes back into the shop
how cars are licensed a year ahead
even if they do not last
how plans are made,even when broken
how seasons and love and elements have laws,too
how while you watch,you are part of this
how distance shrinks with the personal
how all you have seen repeats in themes
how all you have felt seems unique (but is not
how all you say uses the very same words
how little actually matters when it comes to what really matters
how we surf days without knowing the why or wherefore
how separation is irrational(yet common
how union is sometimes partial
how even in the building,a shadow
how a birds wing is shelter
how clouds grumble
why trees sing with the wind
and the only earth(always beneath us-
yet humble as dirt/simply waits
we are coming!.we are here-
to observe and report
