2.306 : 3/5/06 : Precede

2,497 : 36 ?


Each soiled card
soft edges torn
that has been lain
to precede this morn
Spelled a riddle
a game of chance
disguised as plans
shook by circumstance
it’s always new
it’s always now
I’ll do a Captain Willard
on your sacred cow
You can’t help what precedes
affecting what shall follow
but if you’re resigned to fate
your anthem must ring hollow
Who allows it fate leads
everyone else she drags
I try to keep one step ahead
and don’t unpack my bags

what
