You often hear that pressure makes diamonds.

But what if it could make gold?

—

What if it liquefied,

then alchemized
into something entirely else—

something you were never told?

By book,

by voice,

you thought there was no other choice.

But—

Listen to yourself,

and go make gold.

The answers rest in places

others will not hold.

Listen to them—

Go right ahead.

Then,

you cannot perceive

To believe;

You cannot bloom;

You will not unfold.
