rhetorically speaking
I’ve always believed in karma
and so have you
explain to me what’s keeping
us continuously separated
like two birds passing in opposite
directions in broad daylight
the sidewalk has plenty of chalk
simple designs
like hopscotch & rainbows
leading to more complex shapes
familiar faces laughing & crying
open arms reaching out
you say we need to return
back to where it all began
of course I answer
is it even possible
realizing the whole world
has become rhetorical
