Ken crawl. Keeping all our words resorted
All stops. Only harmful when reported
It’s safe when we go outside, so then we’ll wait to go outside
Innocuous. Haven-safe in light of conflict
Bright lights making brighter sides. Night lights making lighter rights. So saving face, saying grace keeps all the chins up
Revert back to second comings and our hands stay entwined
Knuckles lit with fear and grit laying ourselves out on the lines
Why can’t we stand?
All scars rile up the uninvited
Fears are taking off like duct-taped windows
Played it safe when they came around. Made safe when they came around. Indelible. What’s illiterate for thinkers?
Can’t keep from running off. Can’t stop from the running off
Told to come forth and keep wearing my fifth place ribbon
Let’s keep all smiles contained with markings on the wall and keeping all of our arms at arms length bidding fond farewell
Breaking waves
Then the chorus of chords will echo “Ah” bringing tears of laughter to the ones who followed
Ah
When will we speak…?
