Can we redream our-
selves hybridize
our opposite
attractions strong emotions
we were willing
once—
but now
the poles are shifting
compass points
great pendulums
are swinging
while we
sleep wake work
make
appointments art love
everyone is busy
knowing what
everyone else is busy
feeling thinking saying
all the time nothing
is reserved or spared
opinions stories images
are shared
without discretion
we weren't made for this
a captive audience
who never chose
our shows
nor bought our tickets
yet what cost
we pay
we pay
and no one ever asks
permission
