The phone rings
and I sit
The dog barks
and I sit
I remember deadlines
appointments
past due notices
obligations
declined invitations
and I sit
I feel anger
sadness
fear
joy
apathy
ecstasy
and still I sit
The wind blows
the flower blooms
the rain falls
and I sit
I know nothing
I am nothing
and yet,
I am everything
and I sit.
