Elucidating Questions

So today we continue in our separated directions

Let’s reminisce about the year that brought us here

How we found each other in this place where no one finds anyone

And then let’s just continue in our separated directions

Striking out against the failure of freedom

We just keep doing what we were doing like there was nothing

There’s a tiny voice in me that wants to say

Let the bear rest he’s on crutches again and I feel so bad

There’s a tiny voice that watched his every move and wants to tell him not to be afraid of the camera

It’s not a gun.

But the voice gets smaller as I continue in this separate direction

And don’t see anything but the nothing I was trying to get away from.
