Are You Here?

Where are you right now

While I’m trying to talk to you?

Are you here in this brief moment

Or a thousand miles away

On some sandy beach at sunset

By a bonfire sipping wine?

Do you hear the words I’m saying

And the meaning they convey?

 

In a world of daydream stalkers

Does your expertise surpass?

Can you cling for just an instant,

Hear what others need to say?

 

Focus.

Simple focus is a bane to your existence,

And I don’t have the patience

To bring you into the fray,

So pucker up and hustle up and

Learn to pay attention

                          Just for once.

It would truly make my day.
