on a train
going home

among those
who back an forth
must do this every day

with six billion
there’s hardly any reason
to think any one of them
knows or cares
if I’m alive

and all I can say—
without dismay—

is that’s great

Thank you both

Just giddy
with being out of the city
and back home

Thanks again

I have seen as with a long look
the best a man can make
is to create his own goodness

out of a clear image of himself
the satisfaction in simply being alive
the pleasure of his own eyes

Ecclesiastes
V  (3 : 1)

Always, you turn the eye toward something that was so right there,that it should have been obvious to everyone....except that nobody but you had ever noticed it. Dang, I like that kind of thing in poetry!
