Being Concurrent
Petri Coetzee 2007 (Kuruman)
Being concurrent
is a sense of peace
quietness
thinking of ideas
while the distant clock
ticks away
An itch
a sore
heart racing
a memory pops up
you cough
You're aware
of you're surroundings
the blue bottle
you're shadow
dry lips
filthy nails
the air-conditioner
it's cold
As you sit
alone
in the room
thinking
waiting
being concurrent
About this poem
It's about being concurrent throughout your day to day life. You are now aware of the things surrounding you.
