Rock Formation
“adapt, adjust
and overcome …”
sounds simple enough
right
the adapt and adjust part
is repetitive
all the way
and back around
and around
round the hemisphere
it’s the overcome part
that’s hard
to scrape off
given the layers and such
outer and inner
the membrane
not even a chisel
nor a torch
forget about butter
it is a process
that takes more time
than any of us have
on earth
it’s a wearing away
a weathering
of what we think
what we know
about ourselves
strips us and leaves us
at the core
of who we are
what we are
no more
no less
