Defending an unreliable character
Instantly makes yourself a villain.
Somehow, being the bad guy
Thunders upon everyone's sunshine.
Reality though, it shows,
Accepting people's flaws
Correlates to better inner balance.
Time moves slow to
Illustrate that mindfulness can
Open up yourself to tolerate
Nasty characters who distract the hell out of you.

Spectating
I can't imagine dying like this, in a place like this; on a cold, dirty pavement with rush hour traffic screaming by and a crowd looking on while paramedics struggle to find space to move. Who could? Deep down we all think there should be a reason, a moment of clarity... or a family presence, at least. For this man, this boy, the rail thin woman lighting a cigarette in a faux fur jacket will have to do - she's been here since the start, her eyes tracking the movement of my shoulders as we fight to keep him on the right side of the line.
