You Were Asleep, That’s All

Everything thanks to everything
Else—how else can you put it well?

It slips up on you—you don’t feel
Ill anymore this afternoon.

There’s a moment when you’re surprised
To check for pangs but to find none.

And you were going to call it peace!
Suppose it is peace, after all.

The one well-being from other,
Do we, should we, really care which

Was felt first and by whom? It’s time
To commence our famous call.
