We Don't Know What Side We're On

Slow going, can’t keep up

too much at stake, yet not enough

These actions beckon common sense

to jump across the fence and step

into the yard of discontinued slang

where language’s domain

is challenged daily

the words are dying, at least free to reign

So don’t you be ashamed

if you won’t let your mind be tamed

but be amazed at all the commonplace

conundrums open minds create

where understanding was before

holes between the edges form

that threaten to transform

the box til it becomes reborn
