Stuck in Honey
Remarking on the beauty and kindness seen by tourists, often missed by those more familiar with the scene.
Don’t you see what I see?
You’re standing in honey.
When stuck in sludge that sweet,
Sometimes you lose your feet —
Hovering above the ground,
Detached from all around,
Deaf to nearby kindness,
Numb to the warm brightness,
Blind to the beauty of
the land you claim to love.
