One thing after another
Little emergencies and big
Isaac has an emergency appendectomy
Steve's dad dies suddenly
I cut my extensor tendon for my big toe

The ebb and flow of this mass of humanity
With individual needs and fears
The mass becomes each lone heart
And we must care
We must touch
We must strive to go outside of ourselves
To hug the collective whole one heart at a time
Without this we die as a people
