Core instincts have taken me for a ride
Inner values giving lucid reminders
to be kinder, gentler, indifferent
when it matters
New Shoes for new views
more clues but less to do
Compromise for my fellow guys
when masculinity revives
in men's eyes
Swift rebuke from common knowledge
if we knew now what
we wouldn't know then
how many times
must everything align
in different points of view
Until we know what to do
Knowing, but not growing
glowing, but not showing
making space and saving face
Changing place
in the middle of a race

Until we know what to do
Knowing, but not growing
glowing, but not showing
making space and saving face
Changing place
in the middle of a race
