The world I knew
as stable
Static
as a child
has always been ending
Breaking
Growing
Shifting
To go on
We must
remake the world
each day

Alter your gait
From winding hills
To gridded plains
The pavement meets your soles

to the company of those who share our values
We’re all so busy drinking our own Kool-Aid
Few attempt mixing all the fountain sodas together anymore
We fear the unexpected flavor
