I am navigating but I’m stumbling 
Both my knees are bruised
I consider the hugeness of love, how it’s shaped like the horizon
I’m 24 for just a little while longer & making room for more

I study humans & our sciences, moralities & norms 
Hoping they will center me in reason & explanation 
Like nondisjunction: a failure to properly segregate 
In rhyme as much as reason 
Hoping to tie my humanity to reality
