Friday, November 19, 2009: Ffffound! Quoted from: Lovely Package

Presence

If I am here,
I am not elsewhere.

For every
one of of my actions,

there are
a staggering amount

of verbs
I have not used.

This is the
trouble with one foot

in front of
the other. If we illuminated

all the paths
I have not surveyed, surely

the map would
blind me, this cardiovascular

system begging
to carry blood, air, a body.

  1. I really like this poem. It says what we all feel about our choices, and you say it in a unique and compelling way, creating a "pang" for the reader.
