Had You But




 
Had you but
added a few crystals of attention
to this bland cup,
a casual pouring
of glistening treacle-
racing giddy sunshine-
igniting the dark passageways
of existence.
 
Had you but
cared to share a few drops
of anesthetizing charm,
syringing a glow
which perplexed passersby
by shaking the aura in their faces,
making them wonder how and why.
 
-But not a grain of your time
did you care to spare,
and yet the hourglass continues to empty
