BRANCH PATTERNS

Curious 
how, no matter 
what happens, 

however unpleasant,
the story line pivots 

and continues 
to unspool in response 
to that action.

But despite 
complex changes 
to rules and directions,

every piece lands
on the same space
eventually: 

it isn't my secrets
which bind me 

back
to that loneliness;
it's the fact that 

my past can't exist 
in this present.
