Passing

When, as I inhabit the face of cause,
a sterile forerunner would remove
the faith that I would know
as mark of gesterous life -

Consider once, the time in hand
that cores the low.
As misery, the sceance of attention
incites or regulates thee at my haste -

So passing life,
in form of apprehension,
predicts or fazes not 
. .. . . the store of waste!
