Ever close your eyes and see where you are?
        it’s that vision again-
        the Earth spinning slowly among the stars
        and you’re that pinprick in a pinprick on the surface
        and all around the darkness is expanding out to nothing-
and you can’t help but wonder where exactly you really are?
Ever read something and feel as if you’re about to cry?
        that stab in of breath when you realize that all we have is guesswork
        that we’re sitting at the edge of exponential
        and no one knows where we’re going next?
It’s so hard to breathe when every moment you’re aware, you look to see if anyone else is choking but no one seems to care, It’s terrifying when you walk the world seeing through the smoke and mirrors, knowing how close we come to falling off the rope every time the wind stirs, It’s irreversible, It’s not pretty, It’s all beautiful, It’s euphoria and dysphoria all at once and you just
Hope
That all of these evers will somehow let you leave the world better
When you become an ever too.
