Rachael Amos ONE WAY STREETAmbiguity that’s vast It separates the future from the past Creating a niche that shields one like a cast Distance Is lurking, its threat is massed Its powers are enough to create a blast Knocking strings of friendships to the ground, at last Distance It moves us along From our mothers' songs To seditious teenagers who don’t belong Distance As one grows, paths become strong And joining the maddening throng Songs become fainter leaving trails of pebbles behind- it’s wrong Distance There is not enough Call it wrong But Distance is what carries us along |
