Laurence Overmire - Unable to Label

Or understand the overlap of similar, yet
Different things, we waste
The opportunity, lose sight of

Horizons that measure the distance
Between earth and sky
Forget to ask the questions

Whose answers lie hidden
Behind the crenellated walls
Of our own perceptions.
