How far apart

Did you see that flash?
Was it just the lightning?
Or are the bombs
coming down again?

Did you hear that sound?
Was it only thunder?
Or are the guns 
coming round again?

Can you count the seconds
between the flash and the thunder?

And wonder
how far away?

And wonder
what comes today?

How far apart are
the flash and the thunder? 

How far apart are
the flesh and the wonder? [[ the body and the mind, the base instincts and the higher instincts and reasoning ]]
