And then Dad says
The world, I am starting to think,
May be more than it seems
“I saw a woman speak
To a black panther
With her mind”
And I hold for a moment
So easy to miss this quiet turn
Something else had been there
Hovering, preparing, in my mind,
One of our little hammers, intent, meant
To crack the old world, with
One more tap…
But Carla is CA
And she is they
And the world is
More than it seems
And the old world
Simply opened
And, free,
Dad was freeing me
