Is Life?

Is life?
Or, is it not?


Single, sunrise, setting,

Twixt perceiving thrice cars colliding?


Soft, steady, startling,

Pitter-patter pattern,
Raindrops on a vacant styrofoam cup?


Silent, smooth, sliding,

Loose change undetected,
Through a hip pocket hole,
Out a pant leg?


On occasion, inexplicably,

Both no,
And, yes.
