some lessons I’ve learned on toxicity
is that in order for something to be considered
toxic
you must first determine
by your own accord
that which is benign
otherwise
toxicity comes in hourly waves
and mirrors the lack
of clarity in your own assertions
they say that a little bit of a virus
can make you immune to that virus
they also say that a little bit of yeast
can grow a whole loaf of bread
so why don’t they tell you ahead of time
that a little bit of crazy
can open your eyes to see far beyond the hills
where the words we call each other
never match the energy we give
