THROUGH THE ARCH

a gamble has to be taken
there are edges upon edges
some could be as sharp as knives
everything blacks and whites

overtones have become undertones
that ultimately mean nothing
yet there is meaning in nothingness –
a prelude to an assassination

on reflection how you would deal with
a mirror-image is hard to say
has to lead down another tunnel –
this is implicit in the overall design

no is not no it's just convince me
try to see how balance awaits you
choose a cheeseburger one day
go to a nice restaurant on another

though life on a desert island is constant
locked into its own inner freedoms
you can walk circles in opposite directions
build an arch then just walk through
