goes something
like this:
in our race
to forever,
I tend
towards a city—
but you
place your bets
on wending
like a river.
The significance
of this is,
as yet,
still unclear, but
suffice it
to say: I persist;
you defer.
I am
precise,
whereas you
are not sure.
And my
raison d'etre is
to exist. But
yours is
to adjust—
to endure.
