Everything flows, a coming
and going of opportunities
Flags blow everywhere
but I don't put poles
of certainty around me
My work and my relationships
are fluid, my fate
is not in my hands
not even in the lines
that fortune tellers read
Pleasure for myself
idealism for all
between the flippers and
the facades of the day and
the dreams of the night
The flippers of catastrophes
and consequences bang
on the bonces of power
the wheels of money and
the cannonballs of contempt
