A steel plate and traffic

A steel plate and traffic

Like a stethoscope sound

Irregular heartbeat

Cars rushing to leave town

Holding breath at red lights 

Like a swimming pool dive

On green lights they surface

With a random honk, drive

Ali’s pebbles pressure

Ali’s pebbles pressure

In both of these worn shoes

Days are passing through with

Moments stale of old news

Whirlwinds growing quicker

New York minutes a snap

Yet Sunday afternoons 

Still carving out a nap

Culmination countdown

Culmination countdown

Yet formative years here

A better us waiting

On the outskirts of fear

A Sunday together

Answers in sharing space

Safely finding resolve

Mere strides we can out pace

In this transparency

In this transparency 

Dreams floating to the top

The fist and open hand

The brush and planted crop

Reciprocated loves

The shipwrecks and the yacht

Silence escaping me

Hard breathing astronaut 

Feeling fear for others

Feeling fear for others

Sensing incoming storms

The Scream not emojis

Cruelty sporting norms

Freedom is not on scales

One for you, two for me

Equality is Just 

Unfair to disagree

As the path narrows more

As the path narrows more

The view becomes wider

Snow banks is still flooding 

Water hanging tighter

Have we frozen ourselves 

Thinking blocks of granite

Do we chisel or chuck

Sculpt Art or just damn it

A quiet conclusion

A quiet conclusion 

Private resolution 

Greater understanding 

A riddle solution 

Up from the reflection 

More pursuits with purpose

The trapeze without net

No clowns at the circus
