From Prayer to Prayer

I was there tonight
for the opening prayer,
stayed past the closing one,
but was I present? No.
My mind had moved on,
planning the drive home,
how to expedite it.
Fingers fiddled with phone,
not taking notes,
not recording jewels of thought —
for my mind didn't grasp them
for fingers to trace.
