SNELL'S WINDOW
everyday I ask myself when I will become the person I said I could be once I got to where I was
years ago
and then I remember how we are kept grasping for Snell
our breath suspended the moment reaped from womb
unwalkable limbs needing to swim lungs filling with fear of the quick and unspectacular
decades spent trying not to fall into an abyss
we give our lives to survival and never think to thrive
