Far

Far

Distance,
as it's counterpart: time,
are in part the owners
of segregation.

If I were to say,
you are here,
and I am here,
this only stations us.

And if I were to say,
this is your hour,
and this is my hour,
this only determines evening.

But if we we're to speak emotion,
we're this,
and we're that,
then both- distance and time:
have failed their task.

This is something I deeply relate to, and I'm glad it's here now.

You left me a thoughtful comment a while back that I appreciated, and I neglected to reply. However, it truly made some of what I have been tossing out at the world feel worthy.

thank you. And you should expect to hear from me again.
