what is power?

 

and power can be thought of as the unfettered ability to do a specific thing or think in a specific way. 

 

and if a power dynamic necessarily implies an imbalance of power, 

that is to say an inequitable distribution of agency, choice, and freedom of thought or deed, then in what utopian realm could one Dream––

indeed, to what corner of a forgotten language does one flee 

to hear the long-abandoned whispers of power in balance?
