In existence, where we roam
with our eyes closed
after the last hour,
Our separateness becomes
nothing of a divide-
Pronounce your words
if you’re capable.
The 21 remains.
Walk calmly, see clearly,
and notice the false
prophet entered into view,
just below your thumb.
-M. Taggart

Oky. I searched the net and found that a scientist tested six dying persons and one of them lost 21 grams after death.
That’s interesting.

Awesome poem. By ‘the false prophet below your thumb’ are you referring to smartphones? Apologies if this is obvious!
