maybe we can co-exist
perhaps there is room
at the inn for more
than one hard head to find a pillow
perhaps steel traps
can be pried open
with the civility of delicate fingers
a willingness to listen
to tunes never heard before
on AM radio, stories never read
in the backwoods libraries
with no Vonnegut
somehow we need to meet
you and I, in a cafe with strange food
we never heard of, taking a bite
of unimaginable from a menu in Sanskrit
acquiring a taste often lost
in the mule tough stances
of silly traditions passed down through
ignorance repeated like truth
why do we follow tired footprints
why do walk headlong into the swamp
quicksand is nothing but laziness
the dark fens of narrow interpretations
