we walked there in the snow
that sign post
equidistant in our heads
we wanted justice
so we filled space with our heads
we thrashed our arms
demanding peace be had
and then we got it
now we know it's true
instead we fill our heads with other things
we know can't fool us too
we lived our lives in wonder
chasing lightening through the woods
our heads were floating in the wind
our hands were wielding cotton strings
