tiny tiny tiny
little workers do the jobs
inside my body
and they do it just for "me"
so i am not just one
i am trillions of things
i’m not just one life
but a cumulative being
and i think it is beautiful
that the earth is like that too
we are cogs in one machine
a heartbeat we don't see
beats not simply for us,
but because of all the
work we do together
and it's important that we know
that we are never separated
we are all playing the same game
we connect to one another
and the sky, the trees, the ground,
all tiny tiny parts
of one
big big big
body
