in the brief moment . when the heavens touch the earth . nothing else matters
someone’s had enough . when they dump their cereal . box on the sidewalk
choosing a small part . of the much larger picture . removes all context
it doesn’t take much . to look behind the facade . and see what is real
only afterward . can damages be assessed . and repairs begun
wearing its disguise . the storm cloud appears friendly . even inviting
with so many ways . to say the same thing, we stop . paying attention
never trust your dreams . to someone who says their dreams . are always nightmares
the threat is noticed . cautiously the turkey moves . away from the road
within the confines . of a system, the restraints . help shape ideas
