Every step
toward infinity
only brings me closer to disaster
and I don't know if,
I'm not sure if
I can survive it all

I rested for a moment
just to contemplate
my life,
existence

and, while the cicada rang its wings
the bees and birds all flew up above
I could hear the deep rumble
of wind
and air
and atmosphere
slowly breaking under each strenuous
beat
and flight happens

the fish in the stream
all fighting the current
rested
the ants at my feet
carrying their load
knelt
to the boulders and hills
finally, the trees,
growing ever strong
all clapped their leaves
and applauded

motionless me
the world moves itself under my feet
while I,
alone, tread the surface
breathing
just like every other human
