you don’t belong here
you’re here to take it in
you’re not here to let it in
observe
the I-ness of 10,000 things
the way each has limited capacity
for the others
becomes accustomed,
disinterested
bored
so quickly
as though time was some precious commodity
as though years were significant
and spending them was a challenge
wonder what boredom feels like
then turn back to wonder
and give up assimilation
