eat
too worried about calories and expense
to taste the exquisite combination
of peanut butter and jelly
look
far more concerned with our own appearance
than the fantastic exhibitions
on now in the art gallery of the world
hear
memorize all the words to a hundred greatest hits
and then have to be taught
the skill of listening to lovers
breathe
so inured to sterile air-conditioned rooms
the smell of fresh rain on hot summer pavement
registers for only a few seconds
touch
practicality of steel and wood utensils
usurps the experience
of warm sheets against bare skin
the problem with today is
forgotten bodies
