Poetic Dose: The Future is Female

#365daysofpoetry Days 108 and 109

In my latest business trip to the US, I stayed at 21C Museum Hotel where they featured all-female artists exhibit entitled, "The Future is Female".  Below are a couple of my favorite pieces.

Let us march forward, you and I

Left, right, left, right.

With you beside me ... or behind

I can do everything conceived in my mind.

You and I, we can go high

Beyond the perceived limits of the sky.

There is no fear; no reason to hide

When you believe in my light and you are mine.

No, no.  I am not dull. 

Merely pensive (or bored)

In the mile you have spoken

Within the span of a minute

I have gone through

Every detail, facet and possibility.

And on that brief moment

When you catch your breath,

I only need a line or two

To break your mile.
