Other Faith

So many friends in the distance, waiting
there

for me . . . for the day to be
gone. For the next car on the
      freeway to move fast enough.
And,

the answer? Where I sit in this
green
belt (can you see these trees?)   above
      the city, there is
      nothing

      to say in
answer to the question, to myself-to
you all, in the
  small cars moving
away! other
  than,

"Breathe in, breathe
again . . .

breathe on me."
