           What's hanging by those glances;
           what's swinging by that smile;
           what's soaring down your conscience;
           or diving through your mind;
           what's missing 'bout you,
           what's blurring your thoughts,
           what's shaking your conscious
           from gazes you caught;

           how vain may be
           your ego blush,
           the bass of questions
           your wisdom crushed;
           yet humbly seated
           in candid view
           of bearing attention
           a million few;

           for a shadowed context,
           a floor-witted creation,
           a misleading canvas
           of a magnetic relation;
            but what a forcefield,
            what a stretching blackhole;
            what a reigning gravity
            all your worshippers fall;

            but how careless--your grasp
            yet, full spirit I'm braced,
            what for dying is a touch
            unless invested's my faith;
            what priviledge is attention;
            what luxury is your smile
            shan't you be guilty for returning
            after stealing once mine?
