Revaluation Of Value

Do these words —
Count for anything

Does a brick of gold, when you are hungry
Count for anything
Does air, sun, particles of dust
The house you live in —

Your own body —
Count for anything

All are worthless —

Without the value that you
Only you
Bring to them

Without —
This very instant
Right here, right now
This singular instant
Of your —
Attention

The entire cosmos
Is worthless

That’s how valuable
You are
That’s how worthless
It all is

That’s how miraculous
It all is
That’s how indispensable
You are
