caring has become its own conundrum.
being relational has it own consequences.
even before the topic at hand can be addressed,
it is as if we all need the same common enemy,
the same common disaster fronting us communally.
so as to say, did you see what I saw?
did you hear what I heard?
did we register together in a common response?
if so, then that is grounds for the caring to begin.
think of it as a very public form and forum
for a collective intimacy to occur called caring.
we all love it when it happens.
but most of us have lost the starter kit
to make it genuinely happen.
catastrophic or calamity are instantaneously start-ups,
fiasco and mishaps, not so much.
woe and flop, more of a ‘say what?’
caring done en-masse with a common mind
is what we could all live for.
community with animated purpose,
a livingness installed into each and every day
but without the disaster to start it
that would be excellent to live there.
caring as an outrageous means of presence.
the sun would rise in my eyes every day,
just looking out at the world before me.
how come that is not the current case?
I could have the heart for that.
