"when i get to the bottom
i go back to the top of the slide"
-beatles, "helter skelter"
once i thought this line i walked
was straight, and of course
it's not. and if my look could kill
i'd question my death were i you
like the kiddie blocks of life
mysteriously linked
spinning upwards
through uncertain places
with infinite destinations
and meanings within hidden to all
weaving, combining, replicating
ensnared in tight strung webs of time
and it is all we have
for one day the ascension stops
and it's back to the bottom again
