No One Said 'Hostage'
Blowing up threads with word soup
you call TNT,
clearing a room before doom
from the ignorance

yours, not mine, because
this is art, poetry
and it could be sublime, or
it could be a method of reaching out

Blowing holes through rhetoric
meant to build walls
not tumble them down so
we can finally meet

on your side, not mine, because
this is art, poetry
and you should come greet
words on my wall to really consider

These words could divine a way
for you and me to be friends
I'm not taking anyone hostage
with the words I spread, though
I can conceive how you might think a threat

That is your problem, should not be mine.
But, let's wait a minute and see
if we paint a line of indifference
clearly marked just for me
so I do not cross


4.14.22

words the world today is not ready to greet with openness, fairness or honesty. Dialogue takes a back seat.
Yes, I can see you are triggered. What about me? What - about - me?
