in a noisy world quiet corners are needed if we are to think
we impose order because it is easier than understanding
what would have been odd not long ago, has become almost expected
most of the changes take place in the world because we’re the ones who’ve changed
every statement– the grandest to the smallest– can have an impact
how we see something needs to take into account where we are standing
something might happen and with any luck it will where i can see it
markers have been set to show us the past, the path that others once lived
sitting still, watching we notice time is passing and let it slide by
we can post warnings but in the end, each person behaves how we’re trained
