We run in parallel

to each other

universes

worlds

culture

our languages do not mesh

though they are one and the same

as we are

but we fill our ears

block each other’s voices

unwilling

refusing

stubborn

we stand on the edge

of the same river

divided

breaking our own hearts

to gain power

over what cannot be contained – Caroline A. Slee
