you've felt things
so huge, it was difficult for you
to distinguish them
from the force of gravity counterbalancing
the spinning of the world.
All of the pain we're in now
is similar;
it doesn't have to be worth anything
on paper
but when we choose to consider it
that way, it is.
If you can understand that
you have seen through the trick—
you have just put yourself
into the universe
and then put the universe
into your pocket;
and if you could manage
to walk around like that
for one minute of your existence
you could know everything
and still not be able
to do anything about it.
