look around
open
taste the culture
the terrible beauty
as pungent an experience
as any can ever have

inspect the unexpected
the discomfort zone
revel in the madness
of rational thought
nearly discarded
not so long ago

heed not in haste
the need for careful deliberation
there is time for action
until its gone

——

My Sweetheart knew this long ago

Blessed…
