The Line Forms Here
Perhaps there are priorities
and purposes which may conflict.
Luxuries and necessities
which nature has already picked.
There may be no purpose at all
where nothing but chaos is planned.
Chance of survival could be small
which none of us can understand.
But shucks, i know there has to be
some important purpose for me.
Perhaps i’m meant to cast doubt
on what our lives are all about.
Or maybe just to speculate
why we must hurry up and wait.
