Messenging

Potential
One word, three easy syllables
A world of weighted, dragging pulls
Sitting on my shoulder and shaking its head

Consequences
The harsh grip of a cheese grater
Cutting healing wounds ever raw
As I clutch the paltry glittering prize.

Cages of the imperfect
Potential hanging ominously above
Consequences hemming in on all sides
So much room to stand,
and none to rest.
