To make it back home across town, <br />we had to learn to walk <br />only through black neighborhoods. <br />Think about this as the map <br />of a mind <br /> <br />laying out spaces <br />that are familiar and safe <br />as well as the places where, if it is dark, someone in the distance <br />crosses to the other side of the street, <br />just in case.<br /><br />Forrest Hamer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-poem-also-about-the-unconscious/
