Unexpected Places

Sometimes people become their perceptions
Failing to see beyond their conceptions
Belittling others who do not fit their idea of perfection
Making perceived weaknesses in others, apparent.

A good reason to burst out of
Narrow, cerebral constrictions
To the largesse, ‘pump’ and pageantry
Of the heart’s constitution.
So others can grow a little, live a little
Finding strengths, so latent
In unexpected places.
