Falling


There’s a certain

American expectation

Kicking in at birth

A picture of total potential.

 

And after that

We’re all falling

In fits and starts

Making ourselves unequal.

 

So we cry out

For another way

To define the body

That we won’t ever escape.

 

Trying to break

The damning pattern

We take risks

Flirting with raw frontiers.

 

Catching a whiff

Of unburdened purpose

Our souls fly up
Burning through imposed atmosphere.
