the strangle
that potential holds

the string
I see // what I could be
it gets away

& lower mystery
is there // something
I know
it leads

to who I could be
down there
must be my soul
my heart
or something
connecting
everything
finally offering
meaning

look // I learned
to never look
up // “a head down keeps the world at bay”
“in clouds we mistake
hope for pain” they say
the Greeks put the gods up there
the Greeks were so confused
we know now
we keep our heads down
we dream the rational way

follow this string
to be all
all they say I can
all they say
I will
all I have to be
