ambitious generosity

see the pattern? 
i reject it 
the cycle, unbreakable 
fickle, raked by something 
the notion says: 
time is running out 
give it only to the 
thing that stays on 
the same line 
but poems keep 
encouraging me to 
skip to the next line 
to indicate what exactly 
the way it is, staccato 
broken up into 
unpredictable pieces 
that respond to intuition 
not to reasons
