   The Outsider



Inside of any and everything there is
Is a common place
of sorts
It isn't readily identified
It is determined by those and what we
love
Otherwise life is stagnant
obtuse and a place none of us belong
 
Until and when we reckon with ourselves
we sense starched feelings rampant out across the land

We congregate; we form images
In strangers we see ourselves.

In moments we parade what we were afraid to feel, to know
to imagine
On nights such as this I cross my legs and sense a pattern of things misunderstood
I am reminded
