Don't Take a Side

Don't stand on one side of the divide. 

It runs central but outside of you.

It is steep on both sides and travels for a while,

Sardonically predictable,

So don't walk the sides.

Don't slip down or your energy will be lost.

Just walk the center line and hold your head high. 

Learn to look up and feel the clouds against your skin.

Close your eyes and step forward like on a beam, walking across the sky.

Don't slip, don't take a side, don't fall into the slide,

Else the walk goes on

And on

Forever.
