Choreographed.
Designed.
System
in place.
Rules
to follow.
Accepting
the stage.
Parts to
be played.
Parameters,
lanes to
be observed,
traversed.
Designated.
Substrate,
maze
engineered.
Appa­ritions
injected,
game
begins.
Outcomes
limited
yet infinite.
All seems
normal.
Anything
but.
Define
normal.
Normal
here.
Normal
no­w.
Normal
then.
What else
is known?
How else
to believe?
Choices
what choices?
Choreographed.
Playing
the part,
enacting
the role.
Living
on a
pebble,
stage
in a
limitless
void.
Caught up
in the
play.
Accepting
the role.
Questioning
naught.
Dancers
on the
stage,
following
design.
Spinning
to the tune.
Choreographed!
