I would like to straighten my encounters with the world

uncrease and detangle the twisted lines that have come to be

the only way

through this short long life we’ve chance for change

to take the off ramp

begin the real journey

unchartered unmapped this territory is pure

though others have come before their footprints guide no form left

to mould the print you implant

exit if you choose

this is your option as well

choosing

but know the cost in an unexplored terrain

is to live continuously

in fear of the unknown

in reality

that exit ramp is meant to lead us to a place we’ve never been

yet always been

meant to grasp

untangle the ties that bind your skill your talent your fist and fingers

to the world that asks us to not undo

that knot
