I find reassurance
in knowing I need not worry
no one will show up for my plans
And my job
and my joy
is to work and play with those someones
already here
in my life on this native Earth
at this sacred time.
I hear considerable comforting room
between not being able to accomplish all that is sufficient
for global health
and my ability to fully engage all that is necessary
for my local wealth.
When it’s final curtain time,
the size of the stage
is insignificant
compared to the quality of resonant sound
and resilient
brilliant lights.
