You Can Get There From Here

So get started

Note: Below the poem is an audio clip of the author reading the poem.

You wonder how to get there
despite your circumstances.
Yet nobody gets anywhere, except
by spiting the circumstances,
which, after all, can only
circum stand.
Circumstances are to opportunity
as walls are to a door.
Look not to walls,
but to ways.
