a möbius strip,

one surface of road

yet everything presented offering new hope

yes, in the past that was foolish, the wanting the world

but a new car and some cufflinks and the strip appears unfurled

trompe l’oeil

for the strip was never two,

but one, unified; sound and gracious

Reactive, baseless

what odious trick

not from malice, but viewer’s ignorance

so I paced a little and looked again

a different point of view

curiosity to binge

the truth I found round the bend, while never feeling good

is as clear as a simple circle, complete from within

the road never changed, just me and my view,

so I took up my old post and began to desire a-new
