i realized the problem
was not with me and my thinking
but with the architecture of the world
i was seeking free space
in the broadest sense
across all dimensions
where we could all flourish
i set off searching for that space
and if it could not be found
whether it could be created
in my mind's eye
and by my behavior
watching the trail of crumbs
i had left behind
organizing those crumbs
looking at the trail
the detours
the shifts
seeing what i moved towards
and what i moved away from
see who moved towards me
who moved away
to see what happened
and wonder why
to reveal by
revealed preference
energy flows
motivations
preferences
endowments
technology
and to use that information
to see if an alternative pocket
an alternative fold
could somehow be built
inside the skin of our world
you have constructed
a pocket for yourself
you can breathe
you can breathe
you can breathe
