CAN'T SEE NO KRISNA COMING
from unsteady starts
into motion
plans already
compromised ...
is this all
that will go wrong now
or just the theme
becoming clear?
as Arjuna
we must face this,
a daunting task
which now demands
our action to obey;
we fear its lines,
the looming threat,
the unknown at each turn
we seek anger
as an escape
and dread the drift
that leads to sleep;
but none of this
will function here,
we must find vectors
to unswerving flow
too many myths appear
embedded in the grid;
we hear the echos
of future days unseen
or perhaps crosstalk
from another path
that hopefully won't be
the envelope's collapse
and so into
this fate we step
with fear and doubt
and anguished pain,
hoping that the funhouse ride
will simply exit
at the other side
with awaiting souvenirs
