barriers are shaped . by complacency, as much . as by construction
often, with progress . we are shown a potential . that’s not intended
there are access points . to everything we need . but few are labeled
a peaceful surface . is easily disrupted . by tiny ripples
put into context . ideas begin to lose . what made them special
on a pedestal . some things sit, separated . to be idolized
tomorrow will come . as today is slipping by . and the coffee cools
with each decision . a path to walk is chosen . never to return
from out of nowhere . unrelated memories . reach for the surface
sometimes, additions . are the primary reason . for making a choice
