BEGGING BOWL

@open mikes,a tip jar waits
like an invitation for response
it goes home alone/unless someone
sees a point in poem.
Buddhist beggars seek attention
when beseeching homelessness
or peace/ prayer function
On streets,one or two seek immolation
to capture our temporary attention
Distraction rules.Time seeps in movies
magazines,headlines,gossip,opinions
Focus.It is not the next
but this present moment
that you are in.I beg
for your attention.
