No Escape


                                 A man                                                         his deprivation.

                       scampers from                                                               gateway to

              his grim                                                                                      waiting. A

       act, either                                                                                                again simply

    the twinge                                                                                                          meet him

    of a                                                                                                                      act will

needle or                                                                                                                   his grim

the thrust                                                                                                           suddenly. And

of a                                                                                                                      subtle or

   knife it                                                                                                scampering sneakers

will always                                                                                                     beneath his

comeback. Whether                                                                                     will crumble

                               today or                                                                   the Earth

                                      tomorrow                                                always comeback

                                                                             Will
