what can become. . .

the reality of possibility

reality is,

and it is right to see that clearly

with no filter of expectation,

how else can science help us, for example?

for we have to know where we are

in order to decide where we want to go, and how,

however, reality is also potential,

and it is possible to imagine,

to foresee how this reality 

can shift into somewhere better,

I’m proud of us

when we see the possible within students

and then when we find a way 

to help innate possibility become skill,

and skill to be expressed,

reality is,

yet, significantly,

reality is also what can become.
