How we live within our times,
Largely forgiving of those
Who are close to us, largely
Unforgiving of others
Who are mostly imagined,
Given they’re farther away—
Little clouds of thoughts inside
Small orbits of behavior—
Few of us more than manage
More or less acceptable
Lives within our small contexts.
Lots of people have observed
How life is like a bubble,
Just a bubble, a bubble
Of awareness—it’s also
A sphere of ethical sense,
An enclosed parameter,
Sometimes many such bubbles,
Articulating outsides
Relative to our insides,
Like living cells, like our cells.
