desperately clinging
to life as he knows it
the man upstairs rears his soul
to find the missing
link inside his own story
he's tired, his mind
is roulette with a rat on a wheel
incessantly spinning in chase
of what more than necessity
to live more than once is
impossible still to live only once
is to live not at all
the man, hermit-bound,
has found his devices
betray all he's earned through
toil and toil as he must to stay up
with the rest all around
though he does no less than miss
the point that eludes him
just past his eyesight
and still he must work
desprately clinging
to life as he knows it
