numerous
today you feel numerous
wake up
numerous times
starting over again
1-2-3
1-2-3
1-2-3
exit exist to be to be
bees buzz and are attracted to
bright colors textures smells
take care
i remain again
of grains
today you pick up
every grain
like words
reach down
on hands and knees
put them in your pocket
the small parts
we don’t see
everyday
what’s new
belong
belonging
keep looking
i remain in reach
of the body
today you push
your body
nobody
everybody
how’s it going?
how many things
we do
how many things
are there
counted and not counted
i remain many
