Being of (man next to me reads the Gita)

Being of
Mindful sound
Surrounding body

Being of
This world
And not others
Known worlds
Unknown
One
And only

Being
Not not being
Aching for being
Inching toward not being
Stay breathing
Practice not breathing
Practice leaving
Leavening
Grieving

Being of sound
Being with mind
Being as part of a body
Being bodies in motion
Being busy
Busy bodies
Bustling
Making sounds
Challenging minds
Challenge your body

Being mindful
Being surrounded
By surroundings
Being mindful of that
That which surrounds
You
And your being
Being surrounded
Shrinking
With everything
At different speeds
Making creaking sounds
Only in the mind
Each individual being
