The sound of a siren cuts through grey.
*
A threat that is real and unreal.
*
We might breathe it in. We might breathe it out.
*
Our children are potential killers.
*
We cower from the fence in the yard that separates our house from the next.
*
All suspends in this solution of distance.
Nothing will ever change, everything is changed.
*
Float.
