Be oriented, your goals suggest.
They have their bullets
and they fire three times,
three times they told you
what you need to do
by when
and each time
you dodged
you let your body
go limp
and pretended to be dead
and like a tyranny
the eyes on those goals
cannot see you
when you do not move.
There was a time
when you tried
to meet your goals
to get your goals
to make outcomes
your incomes
and become a person
who becomes
as planned.
This is a child's game,
however,
and you learned this
by your disorientations
by becoming goals
and in doing so realizing
that your vision of the future
was not the realization
of goal
after goal
after goal.
That would be
and was
a destitute career
in kicking a ball
into a net.
And when you kick a ball
into a net
too many times
you find yourself dying
netted
balled
simple.
