Natural Prayer

 1
do we even remember how it was

to be close to other people excited

to be part of a crowd moved as one
all that changed temporarily then
not perhaps never coming back 

2
nothing actually happens until
something does our life random
yet repetitious original yet banal
our own yet biological historical

3
is it too late for Spinoza
or Schopenauer yes I fear
I have frittered away my life
infected by Surrealism attention
is the natural prayer of the soul
