there

when all paths lead to
the same destination
caged lab rats running
the endless loop
burning off energy
in nonproductive array
adds to mental entropy
of urgent formal reaction
tho equal opposite stress
is causation - nothing
comes of nothing
ashes to ashes, dust to dust;
the ephemeral ability
to rise and fall and rise
and fall and dust off
pick up the boddice &
continue, understanding
that true crime is not
reaching the potential state
that is achievable in
absense of artificial
barriers to thought
