around another corner,
one more church – walking

when i heard today
when i heard today
that NASA had discovered
a new solar system with seven
earth-like planets, i sighed
thank god as if i were
closer to getting off
this one. other lures:
the system’s star
is an ultracool
dwarf named TRAPPIST-1,
no abrahamic relations, and

40 light years away
is only right next door

impulse and
restraint,
us and them,
reason is screwed
on ever so
tightly.

between me and you
is how tight

us versus them, history
has proven that
it has been us all
along – even as we
wait gathered on
one breath this
morning, suspect
at large, we are
together on this:
it is us over
and over
again, there’s no
backing away

deciphering
