monsters gather beneath society's bed, while
finger-bars lock mind away
behind the visions shared ...
in blue
childhood discoveries:
what we cannot see, cannot hurt us
but if it sees us ... will it be hurt?
our parents taught us the art of denial -
what will we teach our little ones?
(perhaps)
that it is never enough to look ...
without seeing
.
