here i am but i am there

pulling fuzzies from my hair

in the corner lost in sonder

wond'ring where these people wander

who are you when out of sight?

who switched off the bathroom light?

corporeal when in my view--

when turned away, do i go too?

no; i live no matter what.

a simple feeling in my gut

propels me into thin existence;

wary, but with no resistance

i am there but here i am

through time's ether thus i swam

never backward always fore

wondering what this life is for
