I Pretty Much Trust Magnetism

Of people, of ideas, of jewels

Of music, of prayers, of laughs

Of drugs, of glances, of guilt

Of fire, of water, of storms

Of, you know, those

Naturally occurring pulls toward

I’d go further than that in fact

That trust, that magnetism

People swaying, ideas playing

Clusters of jewels, mountains of music

Mosques, synagogues, chapels, churches

Prayer, laughter - those hugs of civilisation

No longer scared of sideways glances

No more by guilt to be bound

Neither from the fire, nor from the water

Instead to embrace the reviving storms
