Start
Close In
Start
close in,
Don’t
take the second step
or the third,
start with the first
thing
close in.
The step
you don’t want
to take.
Start with
the ground
you know
The pale ground
beneath your feet
Your
own
way
of starting
the conversation.
Start with your own
question,
Give up
on other people’s questions
Don’t
let them
smother
something
simple.
To find
another’s
voice
follow
your
own
voice
Wait
until
that voice
becomes
a private ear
listening
to another.
Start
Right now
Take a small step
you can call your own
Don’t follow
someone else’s
heroics,
Be humble
and focused,
Start
close in,
Don’t mistake
that other
for your own.
Start,
close in
Don’t take
the second step
or the third
Start with the first
thing
close in,
The step
you don’t want to take.
