Video

I saw 
a women
in a
video.
She was
old
walking slowly.
The Video
was seventy
years old.
It was made
in Berlin
after the war.
Smashed buildings 
everywhere,
smashed 
lives too.
Where she
was headed,
I had no 
idea.
But that
moment
for her,
was just
as focused
as this
moment for
me 
as I’m typing 
these 
words.
How fleeting 
it all be.
