About our days
In this world
We
are
Ever aware
Ever vigilant
We look both ways
Before crossing
One-way streets
Ever aware
Ever vigilant
We look both ways
Before crossing
One-way streets
We
consider the likelihood
That a mass shooting might unfold
While we shop for groceries
We scan for exits
Upon entering rooms
With an urgency
Once reserved
For first responders
We do these things
Because
Life is
Uncertain
That a mass shooting might unfold
While we shop for groceries
We scan for exits
Upon entering rooms
With an urgency
Once reserved
For first responders
We do these things
Because
Life is
Uncertain
While
at the same time
Life is
Needing us
To live it
Life is
Needing us
To live it
