i step outside where life abides, _what do i see?_

a golden bridge with cars in grids, spacing employees

_and in between the bridge and i,_ _what do i see?_

the view from the hallway of my first apartment in san francisco!

a cloud that floats above the boats, coasting on the sea

_and in between the cloud and i,_ _what do i see?_

a tree so rare, near not there, playing with the breeze

up close and personal with the monkey puzzle tree's incredible leaves

**_but, what, i ask, what is here between the tree and me?_**

no-thing to trace, grace in space, infinity's mystery
