A LITTLE BIT UNDONE
It’s OK
I’m just a little bit undone
A shoelace come untied
An unfolded story trying to hide
A gift not quite securely tied
Overflown suitcase open wide
Unsecured. Unhitched. Unfastened.
All the buckles of humanity
To strap themselves in
To common decency and respect
Are swallowed up
In oceans of propaganda
Desert pretending to be forest
Wolf pretending to be lamb
Killing pretending to be… other
The micro and macro
Of man in his ignorance
Have found me on my knees
Who can one trust
When we bind to our own shackles
Beholden to the other
Yet not to EACH other
Simple pure connection
No longer common place
No room for it in rhythms
Of another’s driving pace
How long to hide from the incessant throng
Til kindreds finally collect and belong
It’s OK
The course will stay
I’m just a little bit undone
