The Passions

Fiery crim'nal
Stealing secrets
Infiltrating actions

You're in my body
All of you
Directing the show
Silently

Here I sit
Feeling you out
Mapping you out
You won't be rooted out

As such
When you're revealed
I must understand
Accept
Come to know well
My criminals

For the only possibility
For reform
Is not re-orientation
Or forceful chainge
Certainly not cages
Or solitary confinement

But play
In the light of day
To the point of comprehension

So that, my criminals
We might surf better waves
A dolphin pod

Navigating the pond
To find the creek
Leading to the river
Eventual delta mouth
Open ocean

Where we
Together
Might taste new fish
Find new lands
Learn more interesting currents

Adding pod members
As even the winds
The coral
The tides
Are dolphins
