all that we can see no matter what else we know is all we can prove
in bone chilling cold we learn to appreciate the simple comforts
we tend to believe that one solution always fixes the problem
patterns repeating will become invisible if we’re not watching
many are skeptics and will call the fire fake news when the alarm sounds
we use nostalgia to pretend it was better in our memories
anxiety comes when we forget that others share our same worries
any distraction is often preferable to reality
if you want to know the state of the world, look for a hand lettered sign
calling something soft does not make it soft, maybe they meant eighty feet
