Sharp Truths

Life is weird.
The forms it takes,
the moves it makes.
Every peek into
strange dimensions
of water, desert,
history, coincidence
stabs and shreds
our self-drawn
mind maps.
Try again.
Humans might be
prickly and defensive
about the boundaries
we’ve imagined
around reality,
but it doesn’t stop
reality from poking us,
jarring us,
forcing us to accept
a little more.
