(no subject)
I used to need to stay on red alert
My dream was to some day be able to address all the bells and whistles, all the urgent things
For that time, I had to focus on eating, and survive
And now I have no real problems
I am in a place of security
And you know what
I know now that addressing each flashing emergency light will kill me
So I withdraw my consent
I will be small and slow and make little noise
I will work in boring ways to be kind and to make a kinder world
I do not need to answer every ambulance that approaches
I used to be the emergency
And I cannot be a hospital
But if I create an ordinary foundation
A very sensible place to be
That is inclusive, that embraces the little day to day of revolution
That does not seek a shout or clap of thunder
I believe I can be of some use
And then I will die and be gone
Just like all of this
