The stories we have told
About the stories we tell
Are wholly inadequate
To the life as lived
Or the stories suppressed
By the supremacy of
Unearned inherent worth
From positions of privilege
As the facade crumbles
Into ordinary words
Unlikely to be repeated
Until placed in proper context
May the landscape renew
Through uninhibited cultivation
Of gardens never conceived
In any familiar minds
But grown to fruition nonetheless
