is it amazing . the view that they work so hard . to protect us from?
if the intention . is fear, it could just as well . be a comedy
solely based on clues . we can guess what’s over there . but not know for sure
it’s no longer weird . it has been there long enough . it’s been normalized
a little warning . when it’s paid attention to . can go a long way
a dynamic world . will cause a static response . mostly out of fear
it’s complicated . when the chaos of living . can feel so calming
the path is the guide . the figure in the distance . is just walking it
the silence unheard . in the middle of the night . is likely nothing
a grand gesture . or simple act of kindness . soften the edges
