First

Everyone wants "credit" 
for saying "it" first
doing it first
inventing, arriving, leaving, creating, solving
suffering...
asking first....
Right or wrong...immaterial to the primal drive
to be the one ahead of the herd to run head "first" into the fray... 


Who would be silent first?
Still...
Would you be the quiet witness,
the halcyon participant, 
growing in the ageless moments twixt action and thought?
