Spinning in this lurid stream

Reaching out for reality

That constantly shifting plane

Constantly escapes me

Sifting through my life

I recall events that shaped me

I analyze those, in order

To determine my destiny

I search for a reason

Some purpose to hold on to

Eventually I give up

And just drift

Floating, I realize

That I’ve been fighting the current

A futile effort

At best

I need to flow
