46. Marc Polite + Vera Linder

that we may climb the sky with our legs and wheels and eyes
and reach heights unexpected, viewing all transpiring below.  
And let the transpire be borderless, let masks become invisible 
As we see and recognize the humanity of all 
it is a human-rearrangement, what is proof that Never changes 
A needed reset, a reprieve from what was deemed normal
not allowing universal pardon, we will bring all our stories 
Telling our truths to sympathetic ears and open hearts
distilling meaning into verses, voting for a poetocrazy 
endorsing only what makes us whole, and is healthy
finally retrieving the w we were missing, time to abandon the hole 
to live freer and find a way out of the malaise 
giving touch back to our skin, voices back to our streets 
while boats are wings that drift and glide beneath, never staying still
