Cheating in,
one foot at a time.
Changing angles,
gaining a new line of sight.
This isn’t what it was
even just a little while ago.
These walls that once
protected us,
then confined us,
now lay on their sides
as paved roads.
It’s so hard to know
just what it is we’re hearing.
We cannot identify the sound
until we lay our eyes on it.
Touching our potential
is much the same.
Our fingers find something
in the dark
that we can’t ascertain.
All we know
is that there’s something out there.
Some new thing
to explore.
And that new thing
could be
us.
