of distinction, a state of
being struggling to be spoiled

we adopt symbols,

make them our own and insist
there’s only one way

in the beginning,

in the beginning,
the middle, and the end, we
will bump into the

contours of life, be tempted to
break free, tumble into light

the history of

the history of
us is complicated – working
together, we can

reach the greatest heights and dig
ourselves into the deepest depths

there is a bench
and the promise
of a seat
