Presence
John Smith will be here
because he fears his absence
may not be noticed...

Nice roundabout haiku. Reminds me of someone who needs to be needed.

If his absence is not worthy of note
Will his presence fare any better?

A short and precise way to show how people aren't aware of their surroundings, in this case a person's absence. Whether or not it's because they don't pay attention or they don't care depends on each person, but both have the same dark result.
Nice work!

You're right, my friend!
"Being there" requires awareness of and connection to the surroundings!
Thank you for commenting!

It's fitting that you are of a suspicious mind, 'cause, certainly, John Smith is a suspicious character...
Thank you for reading and commenting!
