After failed rules, regs gone awry,
-values with no standard
-worth with no weight
we face, each the other, we face
screens and see reflections,
into the glass,
darkly
saying all our mind is willing to share,
if you care, or if I dare, you know?
-- I think of a dog friend I have;
-- she speaks her mind, with her eyes…
-- looks at me, as if she felt me think of her,
she wags her tail,
sometimes,
it seems such things are happening
just because I think
this or that
occurs to me and thus, to you, in your role,
in your time.
I notice, there, in my future, you do, too.

Making peace is less stressful than making sense. But peace is senseless if saved for times of war.
