taken for granted . everyday sights ground us . to the here and now
it may be a while . once a decision is made . ‘til it can be changed
watching the clearance . understanding our limits . we might just get by
between here and there . some distances are greater . than they seem at first
it might be the same . as every other choice . might as well find out
the curtain rises . while the audience still sleeps . the play has begun
there is always more . that can be consumed, controlled . but full is enough
contrasts exist . in tension and harmony . they tell the story
often, symmetry . is mistaken for balance . in our daily lives
what is taken in . determines the quality . of what’s given back
