The Watcher Poem by John Duffy

(A lone voice whispers)

I live in The Great Casum
The in-between place

No one knows me as I watch you all race

Some of the blind call me god

Some don't
But you know

Good for them all
For I watch and wait

You'll soon know my name when you walk through my gate

Casum is the accusative singular of the Latin word cāsus, which means 'a fall; falling down; accident, occurrence, chance event; end, termination; case'.
