about
to drink a coffee
as the burning fog is
about
to reveal the golden gate bridge and alcatraz
into my view
high up on the berkeley hills
a perspective
so removed.
meanwhile, a young american serviceman is
about
to self-immolate
for a cause I care deeply
about.
there has already been enough death
do not let his,
obscure the view
of those who did not choose to die.
live and do more,
is all i am
about
to think.
