VERY NECESSARY

VERY NECESSARY

.

.


Space is necessary


So everything isn't all clumped together


In one place


Like a car that has been junked and compressed


Into a cube

.

.

Time is necessary


So everything doesn't happen at the same moment


Which is almost impossible to imagine


Though you might have had days 


When this compressed chaos seems like it is your reality

.

.

Nature is necessary


To organize the living beings on Earth


(The "red in tooth and claw" thing


Wouldn't have been my choice


But it is what it is.)

.

.

Individual people are necessary


To cover the impressive array of skill and traits


Humans can be born with and develop


Even if a person is not needed in my minicosmos


They may be vital, crucial even


For some purpose unknown to me

.

.

All these aspects are here on the great stage of life


A drama that unfolds when I raise the red velvet curtains


Of my eyelids each morning


And see what fascinating new act will unfold


In the fullness of the day

.

.
