I wonder if God
sees our numbered
breaths, how many
have been & how
many are left,
millions of digits
shifting above
our heads;
the old woman
on the park bench
with just 500 left.
The jogger with 100
between now &
tonight when he
will exhale
for a final time.
I should scale mountains,
stare at the sun
make my amount
count, every last one.
