1.

Where are you going?

You’re already here.

Now, let that go—

but stay

without

staying.

2.

It is easier 

to be the authority

and pronounce

bits of bated wisdom,

as if you know

anything more than now.

3.

Listen, you are here:

the pulse of wind through the trees;

a loud distant sneeze.
