Inconsequential

Inconsequential

*Clickity Clack* the door knob speaks,

the creak of the door hinge.

The latch, metal on metal, sound rings

we do not think, for it is inconsequential.

How the hands that crafted this piece,

the brass, the metal and tumblers

made by human hands,

we do not think, for it is inconsequential.

These are people, not things, those who make

have families, live, breathe and move,

it is their craft, and they are people, connected but

we do not think, for it is inconsequential.

Those who live in the moment,

do not truly fathom the moment

each piece, part and thing cannot be considered

we do not think, for it is inconsequential.

We live, breathe and move, our problems are profound

theirs are not, for we do not think,

but other lives certainly are not, inconsequential.

One piece to another, like gears in a mechanism.
