linger too long and you pass through seeing
into seeing something new
or becoming completely distracted
and daydreaming yourself off a cliff
like when you find yourself staring
at someone on the bus
only you were looking through them
into another region
but they don't know that and move
very abruptly from your
field of vision
i fail to see when i linger too long on something
glimpses are often better than
long, drawn out gaping
(unless you are in love
in which case every atom
unleashes universes)
it is good to breathe something in
but not until you forget it
try glimpsing at things
and then try spending one single day
taking nothing
for granted
