as a reminder
the mirror
balances
in kind -- sometimes not kindly --
stepping back off track to counteract distraction
some attraction misplaced, replacing distaste for lost race
losing on and on and on
adding up to subtraction
and while there are no powers that be
no multipliers no exponential growth
at least division
let me not carry
pass over and erase
chase obstacles and find them still
there is no apology sorry enough for auction
learn the keep of counsel
only stones to overturn, to carry
alone a choice
divide the space
kick the remainder and keep the right of way
