one stranger away
2026-06-16
path to seeing yourself lies one stranger away
path to knowing yourself lies one stranger away
path to inner peace lies one stranger away
path to world peace lies one stranger away
I ADMIT
i saw myself
i learned myself
i found inner peace
world was peaceful for my existence in it
UNTIL IT WAS NOT
system dumbed strangers down,
i stopped having fun,
unmoving love paralyzed my best parts.
CORRECTIONS
some strangers are not deep
some strangers do not dream of leaving the world better than they found it
some never swam far enough from despair to meet hope
some never knew despair

how do you want to read?
poems can unravel themselves as you read, line by line, at a considered pace — or just sit there, fully visible, like normal.
change this anytime — look for “reading: …” near the top of any poem.
