Those from the other side
of the track
aren’t even aware of it.
Phraseology
is a privilege of the entitled.
Immune to opinion,
the processes move on.
Soundless grids create
the most effective jounce.
Brontide is for a few.
Antecedents birth unequal journeys
as sometimes it’s with
strangers or siblings.
