a timeless serpent
carves its name into the land
without purpose
without conscience
a timeless serpent
of unending perception
proceeds in undiscerned direction
churning with the bitter momentum of wisdom

a single path
dares to defy
uncalculated choice
and infinite balance
a single path
weathers vaporous contempt
and its precipitates
descending to concatenate
stark, shocking knowledge
and ignorant, senseless entities
