Parallel

Part of NovPAD 2022

Steadily, satisfied, I stride along the stripe of status-quo senseless to my stasis, feeling strong. You above and me below.

I remain remanded to the rules of routine and regimen; my refuge in resolve – a fool’s reliance rests on men.

My presbyoptic soul’s path pursues not you as I propel myself, too preoccupied to graph the peril in parallel.
