on the tip of your tongue
what stands out
is hard to recognize
like a piece of art
you’ve looked at for maybe
five minutes
before moving on
it’s right there
in your grasp
that indescribable something
that’s supposed
to make your life and/or
death easier
in either case
it leads you into thinking
it’s the unheard of
the unseen
that needs your dire attention
more than anything
may two thousand twenty-four
