The Importance of Small Rebellions

The walls block the color.
That is part of what they were designed to do.
Making the color that remains
even more important.

About this poem

A political statement, but we can pretend it is also about walls and windows. Poetry, as I am always saying, is never about one thing. As we are discouraged, even threatened, when we decide to speak out, each voice becomes more vital.

Be well. Travel wisely.
