we sat

we wondered and stared
and we simply thought of nothing

in another time
we could have
should have
might have been

nothing more tangible
seaweed
rocks

if we could stretch every limb

if we could be
or approach God

if we were
how different would it be

listlessly
we are the unwanted one

we are pebbles at the bottom

air
breathing
or snuffing it out

one reckons with what one is ultimately given

living
sensing
