The More Distance There Is The More People Become Wise. Poem by RIC BASTASA

what happens
when you create a
certain distance?

blind spots are
slowly disappearing
and what used to be
really exciting
had become so very
very boring
and even, create more
space and distance
and slide a bit to another
block of time
nay, it gives out what
once used to be subsumed
as detestable.

the more distance
there is
the more people become
wise

give me space then
give me more time
it is this isolation
that makes me think
some more
and find all the reasons
why should i
be wrong.
