Rinse Repeat

Why? What is this
Lack of synthesis,
Portentous posturing,
Malevolent happening
On Orion’s brow?

The braids are knotted now
And strands do disavow
The pattern’s initial focus.
Because what broke us
Brought us together.

Not being clever,
But self-involved.
Thinking never
A puzzle solved
Without looking at the picture.

Imperfect mixture
Of lights and darks
Smoke and sparks
Strangling the air.
Who said anything about fair?

My troubles aren’t yours.
Try sleeping while you snore.
No rest till everyone agrees
That we all can’t always be at ease
While turning on our axis.
​
Thems just what the facts is.
