Tense Tents

I’m gonna come out for change & evolving.
Yet, not at the cost of cities dissolving.

I won’t assume that strangers are enemies.
Rather, presume new folks are amenities.

I won’t exit my home expecting a fight.
I get out twice a week, why can’t we be light?

We’ve not yet given this the thought it deserves.
By the time we’re set; we’ll be low on reserves.

We know slow & steady always wins the race.
So, lower the volume & wind down the pace.
