Otherwise



Fear of other
Of one another
Scared of any
Other so many
Dare not compare
Though of many one
To anyone
To otherwise where
If unafraid
Comparisons made
Free us to be
Made otherwise see
Us be us we
Who are each other

Just past the fear
Of other made clear
To our surprise
To see otherwise
When we begin
To see us then in
Other eyes who
See otherwise too
As us because
As it always was
Familiar
As we always were
As each other
Of one another

I can just see someone, "passing the fear," like the mashed potatoes. Or I could see us getting "past" the fear. Good thoughts.
