apparently
there’s a palm frond fluttering
there’s a whistler mindlessly twittering
there’s a bird whistling too, purposefully
there’s a person laughing
there’s a radio quacking
there’s autumn sunshine
there’s toothache and tiredness
there’s a brain in which all this is occurring …
a brain that is simply being-all-that-is
apparently
