   A mite might see life as meant to be.   
      
   Another mite may know life simply is.   
      
   Being, full of joy, aware.   
      
   There is no point to that.   
   It is. Simply what is.   
      
   At a point.   
      
   Of being, in joy, aware.   
      
   To think it was meant to be   
   adds legs to a water table that stands   
   well beneath the surface of the surface of a pale   
   blue dot as if ground-water was meant to be   
   drilled for and wells dug to find water.   
      
   When one is already soaking in it, swimming in it,   
   and floating on one's stream of consciousness to a sea   
   saw in the balance.   
      
   Some people might go to a scary movie, wherein a theater   
   everyone who purchased a ticket is enjoying being scared,   
   and they want to turn on the lights, stop the movie, and   
   tell everyone how, hey, everyone, it's just a movie!   
      
   Yes. It is. Everyone who bought a ticket knows that.   
      
   To presume they don't know it is a presumption   
   which those who think, feel, or know life was meant   
   to be other than how it is, presume to tell others all about.
