The Pause Button



The waiting doesn’t take your breath away, it’s more 
a quest or odyssey, that homey phase perhaps, their 
way of saying, these elements control destiny; really, 
finding that out so late in th’ sequence suggests you 
drifted from your zone’s frequency with its congenial 
dwelt-within reasoning-sagacity - and then slithered 
into their homeopathic module’s oxymoronic swag - 
at least you’re puddle-dumped in th’ same sauna as 

th’ rest of us they say kindly, now we’ll just measure 
where you fit in th’ scheme you never knew you also 
belonged to; but it’s too late for me to say, no way, I 
don’t want membership, I’d pay whatever’s deemed 
th’ going rate to please be left off of that edifice - so 
we progress t’ the pause button where it equates to 

a conundrum too complex to debate in harmony - if 
you stay, it’ll happen their ineffable way, & if you go, 
th’ tree wont bow or break, it’ll play the ‘majorities’
