TENTH  SENSE

Having a sense of the situation I'm

in - as it is happening - is the sense

I want to have. I want to keep my 
eye on that one, to be in touch with, 
to hear what’s really happening,
to taste and smell what’s cooking.

Those first five senses are important - 
but I want more. I also want a sense

of fairness, a sense of guilt, a sense

of outrage, a sense of humor. That's
nine. More! What I really want is a 
10^th sense: a sense of knowing what’s 
really going  on at the moment. That’s 
what I want, but most of the time I'm somewhere else and don't know what 
happened till next week and then some.
