212: It's Just Around the Corner
I love when people ask me for directions.
Oh Great question! The bakery is just around the corner!
I love when people say - How do you get to Broadway?,
Or Where is the 2 train?
So often we just ignore each other.
So often we slide by like eels,
untouched, unphased.
But every once in a while
a brave soul will ask for help;
and when they do
we are both allowed
to break through
the imaginary wall.
When they do
we are both allowed
to drop the myth
that we all have the answers.
When they do
we are both allowed
we have eye contact
and I can say-
Yes yes, you’re almost there
and it always tastes like hope.
