Journey


People, Chinese boxes,
Spinning through the evernight

On the syncopated pathways
That will take them to the light.

Always fearful, crying "Someday!"
As they strive to turn their flight.

Turning this way, turning that way,
Hoping paths will never touch.

Lest collisions that would follow
Break them,
Make them feel too much.
