Float across
that wide, bright horizon.
Bird’s eye view
of the whole world.
Some say,
“Get some distance
and you will see the problem.”
But from up here,
everything looks fine,
even too quiet.
If you listen,
you’d expect
Hell on Earth,
fire and brimstone,
but instead,
all that I can see
are
cars, and shops, and homes.
Where’s the chaos?
Where’s the smoke?
We believe
things move so fast,
but from up here,
we’re slow.
