The Other

 The Other


The other is waiting 

the other is unknown 

the other is scary 

the other is alone 


you’ve got luxury 

you’ve got homes 

the other is dying 

on your phone 


you’re convinced 

it’s a trick of marketing

there’s a risk of

compassion going wanting  


the other is guilty 

the other we hate 

the other we kill 

with everything we think


What will we discover 

about the other 

what will it tell us 

about ourselves 


wrapped in chains 

taken as a lover 

we would do anything 

to escape ourselves

Non-Binaries

Non-Binaries never wrong nor right  neither black nor white  always poor framing  truth escapes while waiting    you I can’t deny I can’t explain “I” there’s another dimension  we’re always missing    easy solutions feel good  crushing doubts with boots  if nature only gave us straight lines  if god was on our side    it’s never green nor orange  look to the forests  subtleties you miss  haunt dreams in an embrace    not those ones and oh’s  didn’t write the code  swallowing contradictions  before they explode
