There – (obviously) somewhere  — or the marker,

even if only verbal, would be futile —

There – away from me (at least), here –

There exists (is) –

There is (exists) –

The second sign post on this road (this sentence)

being Being –

So, a place,

or rather —

an implied space

between here (me) and (away) there

tied to a claim,

(a chain)

an assertion,

(a word)

an act of aggression even –

of being –

There is –

which begs for what

to follow

with an answer attached

(for mere being without context or reason causes anxiety to rise to unbearable levels since the individual cannot exist outside of the whole which is why we separate and show difference like peacocks as if it were a disease to be quarantined).

but the what which follows

the claim of existence

other than here (me)

is (such certainty from the speaker)

nothing –

because not me

to dally with Descartes

Outside the window

I view a world

distorted by the glass

the grammar reflected in these words

to separate (wheat from chaff?)

me (here) from

the actionable all
