Large

There is a finite number of ways things can be
The largest number in your mind can hold still adds one
Uniqueness is a matter of distance
Hard to say which part of the universe we have been found

Certainly seems to know us and we seem to matter
What other part of the universe would you be
A resturant managed from below
There are many seats of which one yours

A pleasant view in what you are sharing
Here too much there too little
Difference only this matter of distance
Long wide tall deep further than you can go

Large beyond what you can fill
More out past where we are to the top
Completed everything needed
More than what you want
Everyday you can become

They say the electrons have properties not identities
Interchangeable yet their story is never done
Except there is something else they know
All that you can endure can as well add one

The end comes in everything done
These electrons mine we see none

Wyatt

What can be accomplished in a day?
An entire world can change
I have seen it happen

Words don't come they flee and contract
Have less beauty
You don't have problems like me

Tough little guy my second cousin
What we most in my family have in common
Good to know you

Eight Cylinders

When you drive at full capacity
you know it is not something you have done
Fourteen wheels and eight cylinders
We have escape velocity

You get by with six and struggle on four
What is missing known and felt and unknown too
But not that realization driving all out of the potential
For good bad middle everything

Now as is then but older
Universe doesn't think you'll live long anyways
Twenty years or forty seconds
Some numbers are better written

Seven wheels four cylinders
We both had 8 but we did not drive sixteen
Took and take turns for each other
Seven wheels 8 cylinders we had certain responsibilities

There are so many less as you get old
To know something is not to create something
They are things we find

Learn your capacity
I will get by
There are things I know that would make life better
Yet there are more of them I remain unaware

I try to drive to capacity
Two partners pass with ease
Relative hard to know another's view

It was a good run then
More ahead then behind maybe
Something best in us
Whatever the quantity enough

Know your best
Try and be it too

We Gonna win

The last ten seconds something new
This visceral new muscle memory: we are going to win
The first time I knew

I've been a part of different "we"s, but this time it was my home
No more kardiac moments for this season
Not a curse yet a burden released

Romans 5:3-4
And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;

What are you doing Dave?

There are moments that contain eternity
And the eternity that takes you so long

Between zero and one we divide forever
Yet eternity plus one takes you further

Less is sometimes less
There have been enough moments to justify me

Lost control found this here now
It is easy to forget the universe is fourteen billion light years

Or what we can see there is no answer
We are made of wondrous stuff

Found almost everywhere and practically nowhere
What would iPhone components do in the next star system

Would they make art?
Just wondering through thirty days not doing something

What I am doing is not clear
For who is

Beauty of Justice

Math has a way of showing that life is predictable
Life this demonstration it is not
Justice a simple equation built on what is known
Like working at the airport yet here in front of me

Compassion was the only name I got
And I did something that I never have before
Found here marking this day

There are gentle souls involved like Tamir
How do I know?  He was a child
I have never noticed her much around

And yet I find beauty there
Three worlds are we in line
She is one
Thirty cent mistake keeps me standing there
Easy enough error so I make one
I saw this something this beauty in justice of all places

Two minutes before closing I returned
She is busy helping an elder man
Another person asks what I need
I asked for something I did not need
Vending machines I linger
Compassion is usually busy

Some equations do not balance
Tho I will not need that paper Monday either
