i wonder if behind the door
there lurks a child like me.
i wonder if they wonder
how to get from a to b.

maybe they are close to
reaping long sought dreams,
or discovered how it’s possible
to realign a scene.

but maybe they are further
from knowing what there is.
perhaps they have decided
the risk’s not worth the kiss.

i wonder if i’ll ever
meet someone the same.
i wonder if by wondering together
there’ll be twice as much to gain.
