     "pay careful attention to you
and all the flock..."* God... i
     have learned i do not care for
the flock as much i thought to
     pretend to: i often pretend that
they are not even there. it is me
     only and the ones closest to -
at times. at others because my
     job dictates care and more is
made if one is perceived to care
     - i care. and an odd thing occurs
i forget i was only pretending

*Acts 20:28
