Everyone, To begin. We have no choices, Depending on gurgled voices Recognized in utero. Trust radar's not activated, Despite the life experiences Of our carriers. White collars Dig for gold Wearing masks and gloves; So we rely on eyes Despite the hunger Behind the disguise. We are tied to swivel chairs In block buildings And asked to trust As they notice the dirt Beneath our nails Ripe-red for pulling. They want the correct answer, Not the right one. Love partnerships Are unstable vessels At  best. We secure trust In disposable Jilted pirate chests Waiting for discovery In teary depths. We find refuge In our children, Though we notice Eyes roll and shift As we age and drift. In whom do we trust? In the unborn Who will Live by our words, And define the world We leave in trust.

In Whom Do We Trust
Everyone, To begin. We have no choices, Depending on gurgled voices Recognized in utero. Trust radar's not activated, Despite the life experiences Of our carriers. White collars Dig for gold Wearing masks and gloves; So we rely on eyes Despite the hunger Behind the disguise. We are tied to swivel chairs In block buildings And asked to trust As they notice the dirt Beneath our nails Ripe-red for pulling. They want the correct answer, Not the right one. Love partnerships Are unstable vessels At  best. We secure trust In disposable Jilted pirate chests Waiting for discovery In teary depths. We find refuge In our children, Though we notice Eyes roll and shift As we age and drift. In whom do we trust? In the unborn Who will Live by our words, And define the world We leave in trust.
