words willfully woven
for purposes of which you can only dream
you can scrounge
you can search
you can say what they seem
for i could be twisting,
playing or schemes
but solely your perspective
makes them be what they dream
all of this is for you
each context, word, comma and meaning that you gleam
it all depends on you
and what you believe
your values
your dreams
your hopes
and upbringings
they all factor in
to what you receive.
from every symbol you encounter
on this page or a sidewalk sign
you live your own life
through eyes very different from mine
or from your mom
your dad
or your neighbor you see,
in ways that can never be
reduced or redone, reversed or unwoven
you give this world something new, special and unique
with every step that you take
and every element you leak
