These people you know….
They are the sidestepping
no eye contacting
kings and queens of code
never speaking truth with love
rather rolling eyes, quick exits and slamming doors.
These are the people who live in the codes.
Their venom is airborn
dropped in silos of private conversations
good grace thrown to the wind
closed fist rather than open hand
these live in shadows of implications
and they rot the soul of everything exposed
because they are the salt of the earth
in the wounds of the soul
they are the people who live in the codes.
