AS I WASN’T FALLING
as I wasn’t falling asleep
I thought pf all the faces I knpw
of people who all touch through
some kind of network
( whose voices I hear & whose
pain I feel )
people I haven’t said hello to
even if we pass many times
as though we don’t recognize each
other
or closer people
I understand from this distance
although I was mute
& elsewhere
at the time
we were all here tonight
together in my head
finding all the lost words
