sit with me a while we’ll tell each other stories and we’ll understand
a deleted scene of a stranger’s life plays out in lost groceries
it’s on or it’s off authoritarianism mounted on the wall
maybe a surprise maybe it’s more of the same that is tomorrow
sometimes instructions over-complicate a task that we understand
from each negative we can create, if we choose something positive
two small moons orbit a large planet, or are they two coins and a bowl
cautiously i wake to face an uncertain world in uncertain times
if you see something stop before you say something ask: what did i see?
seeing the outside very rarely lets us know what happens inside
