A Path To Sunrise

What if being right is not the point?
Rather then establishing a genuinely superior argument,
I might risk the high ground in search of a connection.
What might be lost, or gained, if I start at the bottom
Where we might share a recognition of the dilemma?
Before rushing to assign blame could we look for a path
That leads out of the thicket?
Not a final solution, merely a starting point.
Let’s understand that we may never agree
On the nature of the problem, in which case
We can hope that the inability to decide on the color
Of the table does not end future efforts.
Should we concur as to size, and shape of the table,
Is that not allowing a conditional step beyond?
We will not have foreclosed our ability to hope.
