there are moments
when in the daily busy-ness
questions slink into our thoughts
making their way slowly
through the distracting perma-noise
of our world
what will there be
after all obligations
tasks projects jobs
are no more
do we fall
into a blissful black hole
find ourselves stymied
by the absence
of the pressure
to accomplish
do we slowly fade away
feeling un-needed
maybe
luckily
find our private obsession
that keeps us occupied
until we breathe our last
who knows
