What if after all these years
we've only moved a few centimeters?
and made very little progress
or even gone backwards?
What if we're still in the same spot?
What if we never take a
Step?
Fall?
Anything?
What if, after all these years we're frozen
and too scared to move
because we're afraid of taking the wrong street
and getting lost
when the truth is that
After all these years we are all
Lost in one way or another
