Failure

Trekking through the airport,

Focused on my gate.

A woman sprawled off to the side,

Made a soft, shocked noise.


Immediately surrounded by

A cluster of concerned passersby,

I headed off to my gate,

Convinced there was nothing I could do.


The Acon 1M in my luggage, 

There for shock, but tucked so far

In my bag, my brain

I gave not a thought.


And this, after reading just this morning

About the Good Samaritan,

That maybe the priest and the Levite 

Had good reason to move quickly on.
