How we Measure

How we Measure

Oh,
it's all new again.
Though it's only a few kilometers away.

I've been moving further and further
and each time I go back
I retrace the steps that move me each time.

It's purely coincidental
that each time I've left some institution
and moved to the next
it's been further from the one I went to
and home.

But now without walls
and without form
I'm trying to measure.

I'm building with blocks
and moving when needed
and chapters, and pages are passed.

I didn't know how to mark these passages
or how to notice growth
but time and time again
I move from each institution using intuition
and am finding I'm the only institution in time.
