"Everything Feels Expensive"

Everything feels expensive
and sensitive
costly
and treasured

There is no movement without wind
There is no movement without sails
So much is needed
to simply
sail

Everything matters
in this organism, life

Everything plays
a part, irreplaceable parts

Each part –

plain,
exquisite –
necessary


Who can afford to sail?

Or rather, who of us
can afford
not to?
