We’ve all had them,
known them,
witnessed an account,
wondered about our own.
We delight in opportunity,
look for an opening
a way to move our ego
beyond that of nature’s
sacrificial lamb.
When witness to change
our actions become an exchange
for the former self
hoping an eventual transformation
might give our hearts pause,
beyond the scrutiny,
a lesser adamant cause,
to find peace,
imagine a world beyond
the ugliness of …
needing a chance.
