I Want

I want community, a neighborly world

where care and concern are a part of the DNA.  So often, relationships come in blurred

glimpses,

fleeting,

like the countryside seen through windows on a fast train.

It’s there, and it’s not, and

you know if you could just stop for a

moment,

you could experience it fully;

but it’s there and it’s gone, leaving a hunger for what is possible if the spinning

would

only

stop.
