The world is full of options
And if you and I
Have gotten to the place
Where I only have one step to take
The step that you have declared
Then common sense says
A couple of things
First, we are not walking
In the same direction
Next, you care more about
Declaring your power
Than affirming
Our common good

The world is full of options
Each as beautiful as the next
A few more clearer than some others
And some point back to you
If you don’t see them
That’s not on me
Declare your own blindness
It’s in these moments here
When you inch the door shut
While rolling your eyes
Exhaling, and wondering why
There is space between us
Space and more space and even more space
