Sometimes it’s hard to see past your own nose

But out here

on this boat

endless sky above me

I am reminded

how small I am

how small my problems are

 

They used to think the world was flat

Some still do

They used to think the Earth was at the center of the universe

White people still do

It has knocked the wind out of them

to think they are not the center of the universe

 

My world has forever revolved around yours

Our survival depended on it

 

It is time for a new worldview
