Today’s pace waits for the next shift of thinking.
Accumulation of information clogs the mental impasse,
disagreements when easy gestures introduce an excuse to escape.
Turn to favor a new view not contrary or complimentary but unique
the solution nobody guessed but everyone wants phrased differently.
Trade one for its opposite and in time the second mirrors the original,
the common bond not guilty yet responsible
prompting us to abandon what we create.
But dread responds with compromise,
a familiar agreement of temporary acceptance
while stacking knowledge against questions asked sideways from the point.
We move through the collective chaos,
created by varying pace and plans,
colliding with our own mistakes,
sliding down assumptions,
to discover underestimated influence.
Sometimes the confines
squeeze life’s options to a sliver of a glimpse,
and reflect a perspective you neglected to respect,
now the subject of your story to rescue.
