Sliding Perceptions


perception doors slide to let us by

one glimpse at a time...   looking

around for rainbow colors and 

finding only sunshine...  gliding

through the sliding doors, we see

an earlier version of ourselves,

basking in the coffin of delight as

if it had just been brought to our

attention...  we perceive and have

been perceived by others who slid

through before us only to find that

which they could not understand

lying prone on the floor from the

sexual assault committed years before;

the crime is not our crime but that

of centuries before when no one

knew our names but authorized

warrants for our arrest...  we are

victims of their perceptions not of

our own and we walk effortlessly

through the fields of memories as

though we were floating through a

collective memory fields gathering

up those that had not yet been taken.
