Look Down to Look Up

What if the truth we seek

The connection

The touch

The smile

The hug

Is not correlated at all

To income

Job title

School

Or zipcode

What if what we seek is simple

As a message underfoot

A word in our hearts

A part of us so deep, so apart

That we forget it was ever there

Truths we knew as children

We can’t manage to figure out as adults

Hey, want to be my friend?

Would you like to come an play?
