pay attention.
you listen, but don’t hear
you look, but don’t see
pay attention.
there’s so much more than
what you think there is
pay attention.
you exist, but don’t live
make it more.
it’s there
in the footsteps of strangers in a crowd
in the sky that makes a roof over your head
in the cars that straggle by at 4AM
in the solitude of an empty train station
it’s here.
you let it all pass you by
everything is nothing but ephemeral
better catch it before
it flares and fades away
listen.
look.
hear what I hear.
see what I see.
you listen, but don’t hear
