Apparently there were primal priorities in all of us,
before we were even an 'us' or a 'we'.
There were changes being made,
and charges being let free,
Crosshatched lines on steel emboldened the lot of us.
I learned patience.
Then I forgot almost everything I learned,
almost instantly.
I was perplexed by the thought of an endless desert,
in which only I could see the future.
Only the rest of everyone follows me through the desert,
not knowing the end is not in the future.
A sharpened steel knife cut through a drought in the heart,
it eliminated most every bit of:
gnosticism, atheism, monotheism, polytheism.
Impotence, omnipotents, irrelevance and present tense.
