walk-mulling with you

i wonder about the state of our nation. i’m haunted by a lack of success.

i worry about things outside my control. i watch the ambulance arrive next door.

a flurry of activity invites me in. none of my business (but we’re all human).

people idle by on buses, disappearing into their days and weeks.

enduring negativity. facism. racism. hate. divisive - discordant in hopes for peace.

because what does peace even mean to the weak? they have never seen it.

childrens’ futures at risk of nonexistence. a script for reliving our history.

i stand in unanimity, dreaming wildly of unabashed freedom of everything.

a family of strangers and those i love interweaved through tragedy and hope.
