Musings: The Outlying Dots

They may never break 

On your headlines

They may not make up 

Your popular statistic

Still they are accounts




They may never be

Your major inclination

They may not qualify 

For your minority list

Still they are priority


They may never sit 

On your greedy boards

They may not speak up

In a remote porch

Still they are essence


They may never fly

In your field

They may not glean

Sufficient handfuls for home

Still they are roots


They may never stand

On your platform

They may not meet up

With your mediocre scales

Still they are standards


They may never showcase

Like you presume 

They may not straighten up

With your lines

Still they are lesson curves


They may never qualify

On luscious streams

They may not dress up

To follow your blind party 

Still they are valuable guests


They may never sing

With your street bands

They may not dance

In your club steps

Still they are sweet melody


They may never lead

Your public opinion

They may not agree

With your hogwash 

Still they are checkers


They may never acclaim

Wealth without rights

They may not possess

Speed without accurate depth

Still they are diamonds


They may never shout

For due attention

They may not lie low 

Without a roar

Still they are free 


They may never fulfill

Exact routes of a multitude 

They may not be discernible 

To blind guides

Still they are starlights
