Analysis of Sound Bites: May, 2024
Out from under
the burden of proof
Changing the argument
— freeing the truth
Saying it shorter
staying intact
Words more empowered
— tightening the slack
Writing … the cake
Reading … the icing
Licking the spoon
— crumbs of delight
Leaders made
not born
when so inclined
To rise
or fall
— with choice defined
Freedom and consciousness
answers implied
Unknown to the masses
whose questions have died
Freedom and consciousness
trysting aware
Betrothing each other
— to wed in what’s shared
(Dreamsleep: May, 2024)
