It’s happening Right Now
The Event that you should know about
Your ears strain to hear
Something
Anything
Just one thing
About it
But you won’t hear
No one is telling YOU
But it happens, nonetheless
Right across town, in another place, with other people, with other pain or pleasure
You’re not there, so you don’t know which it is
But you wish you knew
Will you find out later?
Or will you just live on, never knowing?
Probably
Most likely you’ll just have to act like it doesn’t really concern you
Even though those involved should assume that you need to know
