Stick

      Slip

Stick

       Slip

Constant cycle

Of what you ask?

Shhh…

Can you hear it?

Stick

Slip

The cycle continues

My own peace

Or chaos

Take your pick

It’s all the same

             Stick

Slip

             Stick

Slip

First you stick

Grow and love

Compassion and friendship

Ideas and beliefs

Neither same

Or different

Just indifference

And

Ignorance

Of what is to come

Foreshadowing

You might say

But you are just an outsider

In on the inside with me

Friendship and trust

Loyalty

What of those?

Stick…

Whatever stays has

To slip and lose its

Tactility, right?

They all slip eventually

Slip

They all fall down

Blank faces

Mirroring

My fears

My flaws

Highlighting what

I could not

And cannot do

Slip

             Stick

Slip

             Stick

Mirrors

Mirrors

Of all of us

No one escapes

Their sideways glances

Or doting stares

Because

They are us.

Sticky notes

That stay for awhile

And

Then leave,

Slipping into oblivion

Stick

         Slip

Stick

         Slip

You are one

We are one

I am one

A mirror of

Fears and all

That are humans

Stick

         Slip

Stick

         Slip

Don’t look away now

Forever high

On the

Never-ending cycle

Stick

         Slip

Stick

         Slip

Don’t look away now

Stick…

Slip…

They all turn…

Stick…

        SLIP

        STICK

That is You
