Everything we learn we are only remembering.
-The Gift of Gab


A lip cleft of knowledge out the window
Born- a blank slate
preparing for the misguided scrolling of definitions
Cookie cutter paradigms shaving away our hopes of potential
fruit and vegetable semantics
creating a black and white world
forgetting gray. let alone dreams of colour
flat eyes gazing at the two dimension expanse
values chaffing the minds struggle
a hole is formed too small
for escape but large enough for question
the question becomes the vehicle
curiosity the driving force
we lose ourselves on the journey
and eventually we arrive back at ourselves
a new axis discovered
which time cannot conceal
depth reveals texture
hope is reborn
unnamed
the old answered become questions
the cup is empty yet so full of potential
discovering the world is broken
without the tools for repair
after all forgetfulness comes only once
there is no birth without pain.

Composed by Allan Drabble, Tim Page,
Mo Ben-Shir and Collin Peters
