fellow feeling

i cried

for i did not think it could be true

that you and i might have always known one another

and that we could not only evoke

but conjure a place of our own

that everywhere. that has ever existed

was all in service of our dream

now please

hear what i hear

let me explain

this ugliness

this cruelty

this repulsiveness

it will all die out

and now

i cry for all that is beautiful

let me explain
