choosing does not obviate living

it's calm here.
the once a few latenight train hobbles off.
window open
window opens like a windows folder icon opens
plateglass-looking out -- landscape-seeing within
the city lights are vibrating
the need for sleeping
the touching the being touched
the pain of constant falling into
a new day -- the walking
and constantly
and how are you feeling?
"i don't feel anything.
it's very comfortable."
i see -- it's also calm there.
i can see -- through the webcam.
a brilliant new day
no longer in the earth's shadow
yes. a brilliant day.
choosing does not obviate living
and the earth's shadow passed on
2
foggy here. the silver sheen of rain
the matte cloud grayly cups the city
our people are working not sleeping
occasional grinding of carpentry
frequenter train hobbling-offs
over there -- a ringing clear night
charmed street lamps princess calmly formally
i can nearly kiss one -- warm to lips --
then draw as breath
your pixelated sharp fresh air
choosing does not obviate living
and the earth's shadow passed on
