coming back around
isn't that what planets do?
life on the elliptical
a bit more interesting than
marathons on the treadmill
yet it's back and forth
reflections gone through mirrors
restitution paid, resolutions frayed
prodigal notions coming home
nose too high to smell the flowers
don't run, the sign reads
reject authorities, the mind seethes
contours need not be cliffs
a reversal of the dire
one may be tired
with good reason: suspect the popular
suspicions are not convictions
and the life re-examined
is an angle worth breathing into
