IT'S THE ONE YOU DON'T SEE

There's no good reason

to stop

looking in front of

yourself

with your binocular

vision.

In fact, I'd guess

that 3/4

of that which makes up

your life

takes place on the

foredeck

of your daily experience.

(Daily, not nightly.)

And what's unfolding daily

(not nightly)

behind you

is really only important

to those billions

of passengers sitting further

back on the train

or bus

their faces twisted into

equivalent

expressions of mingled resentment

and cluelessness

as to the existence of the people

sitting behind them

who look

exactly like they do as we all

are borne

forward into the day.

Nightly

(not daily),

it is a different story

as because

at night there is often now

way to tell

the difference between

what you are getting

in front of you and whatever

you are getting

from behind.

And the reason why

I am raising

this subject now,

Doctor,

is so that I may convey to you

convincingly

the crucial understanding

that I do not wish to be awake during

the colonoscopy.
